TO
PERTHSHIRE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
PAST AND PRESENT
AS A SMALL TRIBUTE TO THE SERVICES THEY HAVE
RENDERED TO THEIR COUNTRY
PREFACE
THIS volume is intended in the first instance as an appreciation of the
services rendered by Perthshire men who served in South Africa during
the late war, and indirectly, as a tribute to British soldiers and sailors in general.
The names (and in most cases the portraits) of the Forfarshire men who took
part in the earlier stages of the South African War were recorded in "The
Muster-Roll of Angus," published in 1900, and Miss Jane C. C. Macdonald, who
had been one of the promoters of the Angus book, undertook, at the suggestion
of some friends in Perthshire, to compile a similar record for this county. The
work was begun during the course of the war, but in the absence of the many
officers and men who were then serving abroad, considerable difficulty was experi-
enced in obtaining the necessary information.
In the winter of 1902-1903, some months after my return from South Africa,
I was invited by Miss Macdonald to complete the record which she had inaugurated,
and after some months of preliminary work I finally accepted the responsibility
of the editorship. Though only too conscious that on the grounds of literary
experience I had no qualification whatever for the work of an editor, I felt that,
as the wife and sister of Perthshire men who had served in South Africa, I could
not but do what in me lay to further the compilation of such a record, and that
my connection with the Army might afford me facilities for procuring informa-
tion. Generous help in the way of amassing material had already been given
by the parish ministers and others resident in the county ; the kindness of the
officers commanding the depots of the various Scots regiments now procured me
additional lists ; and the information obtained from local sources was, wherever
possible, verified and supplemented from regimental records. The result has
been the collection of brief records of some 170 officers and 1370 non-commis-
sioned officers and men, with portraits of the great majority of the officers and
men in question.
Under the original scheme the book was to record only the services of men
who had served in the South African War, but at an early stage I felt that it
would gain in interest, and would not be enlarged to any considerable extent, if
it included the names of the Perthshire men who had served in the Soudan Expedi-
tion of 1898 and the various campaigns on the Indian Frontier during the ten
years previous to 1903 — the year in which I took up the work. So far, therefore,
viii Preface
as I have been able to trace them, a brief outline is here presented of the services
of all the Perthshire men, living or dead, who saw active service under the British
flag from 1893 to 1903, and of such survivors of earlier campaigns as were living
in the latter year. But no one is more aware than I that, with the best will in
the world, such a record must necessarily be incomplete, and I would fain ask
forgiveness beforehand of those officers and men whose names may have been
inadvertently omitted from these pages.
It should be added that space has been found in the Roll for a mention of
the men of the Yeomanry and Scottish Horse, who, enlisting for active service
towards the end of the South African War, arrived in South Africa to find that
peace had been concluded.
As the term " Perthshire man " is open to different interpretations, I may
here explain that, following the lines on which the book had already been begun,
I have included not only natives of the county, but men who, though not born in
Perthshire, have resided therein in a civilian capacity for a period of not less
than five years. The definition may perhaps be regarded as too comprehensive,
but in a record such as this I would rather be accused of including too many
than too few. It will, however, be readily understood that so wide a category has
considerably added to the difficulties of compilation.
From the first Miss Macdonald had intended that the records of the Perth-
shire men of the present day should be accompanied by letterpress, including some
essays illustrative of the military achievements of the county in the past. The
last four years have seen so wide a development of the historical portion of this
scheme, besides a large increase in the number of records amassed, that it has
been found impossible to publish all the material within the limits of one volume,
and it has further been felt desirable that the work, instead of appearing, as
originally proposed, under the name of " The Muster-Roll of Perthshire," should
bear the more distinctive title of a " Military History " of the county from 1660
onwards. The present volume, therefore, besides the records and portraits of
officers and men of the present day, and appreciations of three distinguished
men connected with the county who lost their lives in the late South African
War, includes only articles dealing with that war. All historical matter
prior to 1899 will be found in " A Military History of Perthshire, 1660-1902,"
which is published uniformly with this volume.
The extension of the historical portion of the book is chiefly responsible for
the fact that the publication has been delayed so long beyond the date originally
contemplated ; but few perhaps will realise what incessant correspondence and
laborious work have been involved in the arrangement, amplification, and verifica-
tion of the records of service, or how long it was before I was able to seriously
Preface
IX
devote my attention to more purely literary matters. Indeed it was not until
many months after I had set to work that some of the regimental depots to which
I had applied were able to furnish me with all the necessary information.
In a work the material for which has been gathered from so many different
sources, editor and compiler alike are indebted to many for assistance. In the
first instance thanks are due to the respective contributors of the articles on the
Black Watch in South Africa, the account of the principal engagements in which
the Scottish Horse took part, and the three appreciations already referred to ;
also to Captain Lord George Stewart Murray and Captain the Hon. Maurice
Drummond, adjutants respectively of the ist and 2nd Battalions of the Black
Watch, for help in compiling the table showing the services of the officers of their
regiment in South Africa. The illustrations to the articles on the Black Watch
are the work of the respective authors of those articles ; while the compilers are
indebted to Miss Jane B. Constable for her admirable sketch of a Scottish Horse
trooper ; to Lord Tullibardine for the map showing the engagement at Moedwil ;
and to Mr. Colin B. Phillip, A.R.W.S., for permission to reproduce a picture
which he generously gave to be disposed of for the benefit of a fund for providing
copies of this book for the non-commissioned officers and men whose services are
recorded herein.
In the initial stages of the work Miss Macdonald derived much assistance from
the late Mr. David Farquharson, A.R.A., Mr. John Hassall, R.I., Mr. W. G.
Burn-Murdoch, the late Dr. Hugh Macmillan, and the late Mr. Ness of Braco.
And from first to last, long is the list of those who have assisted in the collection
of the soldiers' records and portraits. Ministers of the Established and other
Churches (especially the Rev. James Meikle, at Alyth) have rendered invalu-
able help ; and among others to whom the compilers owe a debt of gratitude on
this score are Miss H. M. O. Wedderburn, Miss Jean Hope, the late Miss Buchanan
of Leny, Miss E. J. Bairnsfather, Miss Murray MacGregor, Captain R. M. Christie,
late 4th Volunteer Battalion The Black Watch, Lieutenants T. Buchanan and
C. Willison and Sergeant-Instructor G. Strathearn, all of the 5th Volunteer
Battalion, Sergeant T. Robertson, late 5th Volunteer Battalion, Dr. John Irvine,
Mr. A. Stuart Erskine, Mr. R. Doig, Scone, and Mr. J. Roberts, Dunkeld. But
above all they are indebted to Miss Mary Masterson, Honorary Treasurer and
Secretary of the Perthshire Branch of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Associa-
tion, for her untiring zeal in procuring information with regard to the many men
belonging to Perth, whose names are to be found in this book.
I must also record my thanks to the officers commanding the various regi-
mental and departmental depots to which I applied, also to their respective
staffs, and to the Permanent Staff of the two Volunteer battalions in the county,
X
Preface
for their kindness in furnishing me with the requisite information. The labour
involved in preparing the lists of the men of the Black Watch must have been
particularly heavy, and I am most grateful to Colonel E. G. Grogan, C.B., late
commanding the 42nd Regimental District, for his never-failing courtesy in
replying to my queries, and to Quartermaster-Sergeant Alexander Kelman, and
Private Angus McPhee, who, under his direction, compiled voluminous tables
for my benefit.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the many contributors to
the Soldiers' Copies Fund already referred to, and Captain R. M. Christie and the
members of the Dundee and Celtic Football Clubs, who most kindly gave the
proceeds of a football match to help towards the considerable expenditure in-
volved in the production of the book. I wish to thank also the many soldiers'
and sailors' relatives who entrusted the compilers with photographs for repro-
duction.
Mrs. William J. Watson (Miss E. C. Carmichael), editor of The Celtic Review,
has very kindly read through the proofs of this volume, and I have received from
her much helpful advice on various points. I am also indebted to Miss C. G.
Barclay and Captain Arthur Ramsay for help in correcting the proofs of the
records of service, and to my husband and Lieutenant-Colonel Angel Scott,
3rd (Militia) Battalion The Black Watch, for information on various technical
points.
Though full explanations of the scheme of arrangement are given in the text,
it may perhaps be mentioned here that the officers' records are arranged alpha-
betically, grouped in two parts, according to the connection of each individual
with Perthshire. The records of the non-commissioned officers and men, on
the other hand, are arranged according to regiments, the different units being
given in the correct order of precedence, and the records of each regiment being
in alphabetical order. The portraits of officers have been grouped wherever
possible according to family or clan ; those of non-commissioned officers and
men under their respective regiments, though such pictorial effect as was possible
has been preferred to an alphabetical arrangement. As will readily be believed,
the expense of reproducing so many photographs has been considerable, and the
portraits of non-commissioned officers and men being especially numerous, it
was found impossible to include them except in a very small size. In many cases
the photographs of non-commissioned officers and men sent could not be repro-
duced without another process. This was skilfully accomplished by Messrs. D.
Milne and Son, photographers, Blairgowrie. It should be added, in fairness to
Messrs. Carl Hentschel, Limited, who are responsible for the reproduction of the
illustrations, that many of the photographs sent to them were of an extremely
Preface
XI
faulty nature, and that under the circumstances they have produced surprisingly
good results.
A reference to each portrait included will be found in the corresponding
record, and as the scale on which the portraits of non-commissioned officers and
men have been reproduced precludes the possibility of printing the names below
them, each photo has been numbered, and a Portrait Index has been included,
to which the numbers on the photos are the key. Finally, the extremely careful
Indexes which have been compiled by Mr. Andrew Ross, Ross Herald, and his
son, Mr. Alastair Ross, make it a simple matter to refer to any person or regiment
mentioned in the book. A list of the abbreviations used in the records and the
Indexes will be found on page 64.
Indian place-names mentioned in the text of records of officers and men
I have, as far as possible, spelt as in Wilson's Gazetteer. The names of the
various clasps on medals, however, have been reproduced as on the clasps
themselves. Names of regiments, past or present, I have given as in con-
temporary Army Lists, and the records of all officers of the Imperial forces
have been verified — indeed, mainly compiled — from the same source.
It is the earnest hope of the compilers that this tribute to the Perthshire
soldiers and sailors of the present day may serve to stimulate the patriotism of
their descendants, and that in the future, as in the past, Perthshire men, by their
readiness to share in the toils, the privations, and the dangers incident to war,
will show that even that terrible scourge of humanity, when entered upon in
vindication of just rights or principles, may call out the noblest qualities alike in
the individual and the nation.
In conclusion I should like to record my thanks to the subscribers, who, with
so much kindly patience and forbearance, have awaited the publication of this
volume.

THE BLACK WATCH IN SOUTH AFRICA
1899-1902
L— THE FIRST BATTALION
1901—1902
BY AN OFFICER
TOWARDS the end of 1901 it was rumoured that certain regiments from India,
including the ist Battalion The Black Watch (which was then quartered at
Kampti, hi the Central Provinces), were about to take the place of some of the
war-worn battalions in South Africa. After a few weeks of suspense, these
rumours were happily confirmed by the receipt, on the i3th of November, of
orders for the Black Watch to proceed at once on active service. A large number
of time-expired men availed themselves of the bounty then offered, and extended
their service in order to accompany the regiment to the front.
On the 6th of December, 22 officers,1 2 warrant officers, and 953 non-commis-
sioned officers and men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel E. G. Grogan,
embarked on board the transport Armenian at Bombay, and after a calm but
very hot voyage, lasting sixteen days, reached Durban on the 22nd of the same
month.
On the afternoon of the 24th the battalion started up-country in two trains,
its destination being Standerton, in the Transvaal. The first train, under Major
Wolrige-Gordon, arrived there early on Christmas morning, just about the hour
at which the Boers were rushing the Yeomanry camp at Tweefontein.
Consequent on this disaster, the second train was stopped by a telegram twenty
miles south of Standerton, and the whole regiment was ordered to turn and join
Lieutenant-General Sir Leslie Rundle's diminished force in the Orange River
Colony as quickly as possible.
On the morning of the 27th of December, headquarters and four companies
reached Harrismith. One company was left there, and the remainder immediately
set out on an eighteen-mile march to Elands River Bridge, where they were
joined, twenty-four hours later, by the rest of the battalion, with the exception
of the company left in Harrismith. Considering that it was the hot weather,
1 Seven officers joined the battalion in South Africa. For the names of the officers who served
with the ist and 2nd Battalions respectively, see Appendix I. of this section.
II. A
2 A Military History of Perthshire
and that the men had been seventeen days on board ship and three consecutive
days in the train, they covered the distance very well, and a flattering letter
was received from the General to that effect.
Somewhat over a week was spent at Elands River Bridge, during which time
the regiment was employed in throwing up a fort, and in covering the construc-
tion of a line of block-houses to Elands River Drift. It then joined General
Rundle's headquarters near Tweefontein, and during the next two or three
weeks helped to construct block-houses between Harrismith and Bethlehem.
On the afternoon of the 8th of January 1902, the force made a short march
of about four miles to Tyger's Spruit. Unaware of this, a party of Boers,
returning to De Wet's commando from the direction of Witzies Hoek, stumbled
right upon the camp in the dark. They were met by a heavy fire from the
picquets, and — according to information supplied several weeks afterwards by
two separate batches of Boer prisoners — sustained some seventeen or eighteen
casualties from the fusillade.
The next five or six nights were cold, and heavy rain fell, accompanied by
the violent thunder and lightning peculiar to South Africa. During these un-
pleasant hours of darkness the " clip-clop " of the Boer Mauser was no unfamiliar
sound, and at a place called Hattingsdal, where the force bivouacked on the
I3th of January, one of our sentries was killed by a Boer sniper, a few paces in
front of his picquet.
Before the end of January block-houses had been run up as far as Bethlehem,
and headquarters and four companies had been withdrawn to Harrismith to
form part of the garrison. The defences of the town were placed in charge of
Colonel Grogan ; and by the middle of February the whole of the battalion,
(except C and G Companies), had joined headquarters at Harrismith.
Later in the month the battalion formed the greater portion of what might
be called the " bag " of a huge net, into which our mobile columns drove about
1000 Boers, thus forcing them to surrender to us.
Immediately after this " drive," A and H Companies, under Major Burton
and Captain Lloyd, and F and E Companies, under Captains Grant-Duff
and Walker, joined Colonel Rimington's and Colonel S. D. Gordon's columns
respectively, in relief of four companies of the 2nd Battalion, which had had
several months of hard trekking.
The greater part of G and C Companies meantime had taken over from the
East Yorks a line of twenty block-houses extending from Elands River to
Tradouw. In the course of one of the " drives " which followed, we lost a most
promising young N.C.O. (Lance-Corporal W. Scott), who was in charge of a new
block-house, specially put up for a big " drive " organised by Major-General
Locke Elliot. Scott was killed at a range of over a mile on the night of the 27th
of March, during an unsuccessful attempt made by the Boers to break through
our line.
With Rimington's column, Major Burton's and Captain Lloyd's companies
inarched through the Orange River Colony, Eastern Transvaal, and Natal,

between the ist of March and sist of May, chiefly in pursuit of De Wet. Captain
Grant-Duff's and Captain Walker's men joined Colonel Gordon's column (forming
part of Colonel Garratt's force) at Elands River on the 3rd of March, and
participated in much the same " drives " as A and H. The four companies
marched over a thousand miles before the conclusion of hostilities on the 3ist
of May, and the combined efforts of the several columns engaged in these
" drives " resulted in the capture of a considerable number of prisoners and cattle.
The following " Force Order " was published by Colonel Rimington on the
break-up of his column after peace had been declared. " The O.C. Column
desires to thank the officers, N.C.O.s, and men of the ist Black Watch for the
excellent work they have done with this column, and to place on record his high
opinion of their soldier-like qualities, good discipline, and magnificent marching
powers, and further to thank them for the cheerful way in which they have
helped the transport at difficult drifts, &c."
Colonel Gordon also wrote to Colonel Grogan as follows : —
" MY DEAR COLONEL GROGAN, — Your two companies under Captain Grant-
Duff have left my column this morning to join your headquarters, and I wish to
place on record with you my high appreciation of their discipline and behaviour
whilst under my command. We have not fought any battles during this period,
but there has been plenty of hard work ; long weary marches, especially for
them, and much trying night picquet duty. During these marches I have always
felt my baggage to be safe in their charge, and at night I knew my most exposed
flank was safe in their hands. I never heard of any grumbling or slackness, and
anything I asked them to do was done as I wished it. I cannot give them higher
praise than this, and what I say of the men of course applies in even a greater
degree to the officers. I shall always be proud to have had them under my
command, and can only hope I shall be equally lucky on some future occasion."
. The close of the war found the whole of the regiment at Harrismith, the two
battalions meeting for the first time in their history.
About the middle of September the 2nd Battalion received orders to be ready
to proceed to India, and 238 N.C.O.s and men were accordingly transferred from
the ist Battalion, 170 N.C.O.s and men not qualified to serve in India being
received in return. On the 24th of September the ist Battalion left Harrismith
for Durban on its way home, with a strength of 22 officers, 2 warrant officers,
and 635 non-commissioned officers and men.
The casualties of the ist Battalion in South Africa were : — 3 N.C.O.s and
men killed and died of wounds ; 2 men died of injuries or disease, and 3 men
wounded.

II.— THE SECOND BATTALION
1899-1902
BY A COMPANY OFFICER
BEFORE beginning his meagre record the narrator feels he owes a humble apology
to the honoured memory of his brave comrades for being so little able to do one
tithe of the justice due to the gallant soul of the regiment. The company officer's
view is so restricted that he can only describe what happens on a mile or two of
ground, and therefore all his impressions are those of a man looking at a picture
while standing a few inches from the canvas.
1899. The mobilisation order for the ist Army Corps, of which the 2nd
Battalion The Black Watch was a part, reached Aldershot on the yth of
October 1899. On the nth came news of the ultimatum. Then our reservists,
every one of whom reported himself, arrived from Perth : — 27 officers, 954 rank
and file (of whom 430 were reservists) embarked in the Orient (Captain Symons)
at Tilbury, on Sunday the 22nd of October, and 59 more came by a second ship
shortly afterwards. The Daily Chronicle of the 23rd of October said of the
regiment at Tilbury, " A more splendid body of men has never been seen on any
parade ground since the substitution of short for long service in the Army."
After a most comfortable voyage we dropped anchor in Table Bay on the
evening of the I3th of November, and came alongside on the following afternoon.
We at once loaded up two trains, and were away up the line early on the 15 th
across the dreary Karroo, arriving at De Aar on the I7th, where we found the
General, Andrew Wauchope, our old Colonel, with his staff.
A few days afterwards we left by rail for Naauwpoort Junction, where a
culvert over which we had just passed was blown up. On the 23rd Captain
Cumming-Bruce's company (C), when acting as part of an escort to General
French's reconstruction train, came under the fire of a few Boers near Arundel.
Three of the mounted infantry escort and five Boers were wounded.
At Naauwpoort we left our claymores and sporrans. To replace the sporran
an apron of khaki drill was worn. All ranks carried the rifle.
On the ist of December came news of Modder River fight and sudden orders
to entrain, one half-battalion being railed through to Modder River, the other
marching from Orange River (fifty-five miles). On the yth the Boers made an
attempt to cut the railway behind us at Enslin, and on the same day we heard
of Captain H. Scott Turner's death while bravely leading a successful sortie
The Black Watch in South Africa 5
from Kimberley on the 28th of November. In him the regiment lost a most
gallant, capable, and popular officer.
At Modder River we came under Lord Methuen's command, and the High-
land Brigade was coUected together— the ist Highland Light Infantry, the 2nd
Seaforth Highlanders, the ist ArgyU and Sutherland Highlanders, and ourselves.
The total force under Lord Methuen must have been some 14,000 men of
all arms.
At 2.30 P.M. on Sunday the loth of December, in pouring rain, the Highland
Brigade paraded for the attack on the Magersfontein kopjes. At the same time
the gth Lancers and four batteries of artillery moved off, the Lancers protecting
our right flank. In the brigade every one carried a blanket (an unwieldy piece
of furniture), a rifle, and 150 rounds of ammunition in pouches. Every man
had his mess tin, and every other man a one-pound tin of beef.
A and B Companies of the regiment were the advanced-guard. We proceeded
some three miles in a north-easterly direction and then lay down while all our
artillery — field-guns, howitzers, and 4.7 naval guns — poured a tremendous hail
along the upper ridges of Magersfontein Hill. From Dr. Ramsbotham, then
head of the Free State Ambulance, the narrator heard long afterwards that not
a single Boer was killed, and only two or three slightly wounded, by this storm
of projectiles.
The rain stopped during the afternoon, but a heavy thunderstorm broke in
the evening. At dark the brigade fell back, and bivouacked under the shelter
of some rising ground in mass of quarter columns — i.e. each company behind the
other, at a distance of eight paces.
During the evening Colonel Coode explained to all his officers General
Wauchope's instructions : — that we should advance at 12.30 A.M. in brigade mass
of quarter column ; that Major G. E. Benson, R.A., would lead us a little to the
east of the most northerly point of the hill before us ; that at the foot of the hill
the brigade would deploy (i.e. form line for attack) to the left ; that the H.L.I.
(the rear battalion) would form the " second line " ; that each of the other
three battalions would at first have two companies in the firing line, two in
support, four in reserve ; that the crest of the hill was held by the enemy, and
had to be taken by this partial turning movement ; and that the General would
be with the H.L.I.
At 12.30 A.M. on Monday the nth of December we moved off, the Black
Watch leading. While charging magazines two rifles were accidentally dis-
charged in the brigade, but the storm must have prevented the report being
heard at any distance. The left guide of each company held a rope knotted
every ten yards. It was a pitch-black night, and ever and again the
glare of the Kimberley search-light would flash on us and intensify the sur-
rounding darkness. At about 2 A.M. the thunderstorm was at its height. The
only human noise was caused by men stumbling and falling as we moved over
the rocky ground. On the right there was occasionally confusion owing to men
from other companies and other regiments losing touch in the darkness, and
6 A Military History of Perthshire
some men of the Seaforth got as far forward as our second company. The
General marched on the left at the head of the column behind Major Benson,
who was assisted by Captain Cumming-Bruce. There were constant halts to
check the direction, but we veered about a good deal, as the lightning affected
the magnetic compasses. The Boers had a lamp showing on the hill at one time
during the night, but it was probably not for signalling purposes. At about
2.30 A.M. the rain ceased. Shortly after 3 A.M. we came on a thick line of
bushes, through which the two leading companies moved in " fours." The
brigade again formed up on the other side of these, our right close to a barbed-
wire farm fence. The dawn was beginning to show behind the hill to our right
front, so that we seemed to be considerably to the west of the line we were
intended to take. The General then sent back to order the three leading
battalions to deploy to the right instead of to the left, and, under Colonel
Coode's orders, A, the leading company, went forward, extended to five paces
interval, while B Company, with each half -company in single rank, followed as
support.
A had advanced a hundred and fifty yards, with B seventy yards behind,
when the foot of the hill in front of them burst into a sheet of fire. A Company
received orders direct from the General, who, with Colonel Coode, had moved
forward with it, to lie down and fire, evidently whilst waiting for the brigade
to deploy. B then doubled up in line, fixing bayonets as it did so. The fire
was going high, but a good many men were hit. Captain Cumming-Bruce was
mortally wounded just behind A Company, and close by fell the Colonel. General
Wauchope must have been killed almost at once, as he never spoke, although
his galloper was asking for him near the spot where he was afterwards found
dead. Part of C Company under Lieutenant Edmonds ran forward into the
ranks of A and B, so that the men were almost shoulder to shoulder. Part of
F under 2nd Lieutenant Maurice Drummond (who was almost at once hit in
the thigh), also came into the ranks of A at a place where 2nd Lieutenant
Nunneley and a few men were in a small trench. Lieutenant F. G. Tait also
brought some men of F into the ranks of B, but the bulk of this company, under
Major (now Lieutenant-Colonel) Mowbray Berkeley, deployed with the rest of
the battalion to the right. The confusion was due to the new orders for deploy-
ment having scarcely reached every one when the enemy's fire first began.
In the position in which the leading companies found themselves they were
enfiladed by a slight fire from both flanks, and were some three hundred yards
from the Boer trenches. Two rushes were made to enable the men to spread
out a little, and then they settled down to good deliberate firing. A sharpish
fire was also coming from the rear, where another regiment, which did not know
of our companies in front, had lain down and was replying to the Boer fire — the
heaviest we ever experienced during the war, not excepting Paardeberg. As
daylight broke this advanced party, of whom a large number had been hit, found
itself isolated by a spur jutting out on its right which the Boers had occupied,
but by collecting ammunition from dead and wounded and by firing only when
The Black Watch in South Africa 7
a Boer exposed himself, fire was kept up until after 10 A.M. At about 5 A.M.
our guns began and kept the Boer fire down, and although a shell would occa-
tionaUy burst back (two of our men being hit thus), the benefit done by keeping
the enemy quiet could not be over-estimated. This body— originally some 200
SKETCH MAP OF MAGERSFONTEIN, IITH DECEMBER 1899
strong — waited all day for a reinforcement, and, weakened as it was by heavy
casualties, could not charge the trenches alone. At daylight, from the spot
where Lieutenant Tait, hit in the leg, lay under a small thorn tree, to where some
hundred and twenty yards away the General's galloper, Lieutenant Arthur
Wauchope, was lying, wounded in both legs, there were not fifteen men untouched.
It was here that our casualties were heaviest ; our General some forty yards
to the left of Lieutenant Wauchope, Colonel Coode just between A and B Com-
8 A Military History of Perthshire
panics, Lieutenant Edmonds some yards to the Colonel's left, and Captain
Cumming-Bruce, were all killed. A Company had 23 killed, 28 wounded ; B
15 killed, 40 wounded ; and C about the same. The summer sun and the
innumerable flies were maddening to the wounded men.
Receiving no order to retire, this small force hung on until dark, and then
those who could walk fell back, led by two of the company officers who were
unhit — about twenty-five men in all, at whom, as they withdrew, the Boers most
chivalrously forbore to fire. They reached the bivouac of the brigade at about
9 P.M. and got food — their previous meal having been at mid-day on Sunday.
To return to the greater portion of the battalion. When the fire commenced
they moved to the right at the double, and each company turned to its front as
soon as it got clear. Owing to the brigade having closed up, the rear company,
after turning " fours right," had to incline a little to the right, and so in some
way interfered with the front companies of the Seaforth. D, E, and F Com-
panies went through two wire farm fences, and shortly after going through the
second wire fence, Lieutenant Nigel Ramsay, who was leading the left half of
D Company, was killed — not more than two hundred yards from the Boer trench.
Owing to the small spur shown on the map west of B, all these men lost touch
with the men of A, B, and C Companies on the left of the spur. A certain
number of men with Captain MacFarlan, the Adjutant (who had been hit in the
wrist in the first fire), went up the hill at the point marked B on the sketch.
They were stopped by a sudden fire in front, whereupon they lay down and
returned the fire, but were eventually driven down by our own artillery, and
fell back somewhere near F (see map). Captain MacFarlan walked back along
the line doing most noble work, and was killed close to where he started up
the hill.
Lieutenants Cox and Wilson of the Seaforth also led a mixed company of
our men and theirs round by the point marked F — to which place Sergeant Fraser
of the Black Watch managed to bring some more of our men — so that the Boers
were almost taken in rear. This party, however, was enfiladed by the enemy,
and was driven down by our own artillery fire, five men being taken prisoner.
It was our own shrapnel too that made the companies at the north point D fall
back at about 7 A.M. to the line EE, under a severe enfilading fire from the Boer
trenches on the right. This line EE they held — ammunition being passed along
from some unknown supply on the left — until 10 A.M., when the casualties were
so heavy that this could no longer be done, and the ammunition gave out. The
line then fell back a short way facing still more to the right, i.e. east-north-east,
on to a supporting line of the Seaforth.
Our right flank was now in touch with the Guards Brigade, which was in the
bushes shown in the sketch running south to the Modder River, and at about
i P.M. Colonel Hughes-Hallett gave an order to the centre to retire. This retire-
ment gave the Boers a chance they were quick to seize of pouring in a tremendous
fire, which caused many casualties. A second position was taken up further
back, but there^as little fighting in this part of the field after 4 P.M. The
The Black Watch in South Africa 9
brigade was finally brought back to a spot just west of the bivouac occupied on
the previous night.
The bitter cold after the heat of the daytime was very trying to the wounded,
most of whom lay all night where they had fallen. The Boers gave them water,
but they had no medical attendance until next day. Our medical officer, Lieu-
tenant H. E. M. Douglas, was severely wounded after doing magnificent work
under fire, for which he subsequently received the Victoria Cross ; but there is no
space to tell of the countless individual acts of heroism performed that day.
Our roll of dead and wounded should speak for itself : — 7 officers, 88 N.C.O.s and
men were killed, and n officers, 207 N.C.O.s and men wounded, of the 25 officers,
918 rank and file who went into action ; 42 men, some of whom were wounded,
were captured on the hill when they fell back at the commencement of our
artillery fire.
The following morning we stood to arms at 3.30 A.M., and the order to march
back to Modder River came as a very bitter blow to the regiment, as we had
scarcely realised that we were not to have one more chance of trying to take
the hill.
Lord Methuen then sent out parties of men to bring in our wounded and
bury the dead. General Wauchope's body was brought to Modder River, and
the regiment he had once commanded, that loved him as he loved it, paid him
the last honours at his grave. Captain Elton, Lieutenant Ramsay, and twenty-
five rank and file were also laid to rest at Modder River that day. The others
were buried where they fell on the field of Magersfontein.
Some comment was afterwards caused at home by the fact that no return
was sent in of men of the Black Watch who had distinguished themselves in
this engagement. The Commanding Officer decided that where all had done
their share it would be unjust to select names.
The next few weeks were full of hard work for the shrunken battalion.
ipOO. On New Year's Day the Caledonian Society of Capetown sent up every
man in the brigade a pint of beer and a generous gift of tobacco, and during this
time presents arrived from numerous kind friends at home.
On the 23rd of January Major-General Hector MacDonald, C.B., arrived and
took command of the brigade. Colonel Carthew-Yorstoun came from the
ist Battalion to command us ; Lieutenant Grieve, adjutant of the Royal Scots
of Sydney, was attached to the regiment, and all the officers and men who had
not been severely wounded rejoined during these weeks. Sixty-five of our 3rd
Battalion also arrived.
On the 3rd of February a force under General MacDonald, consisting of the
Highland Brigade, two squadrons gth Lancers, the 62nd Battery R.F.A., and a
detachment R.E., with pontoons, started for Koedoesberg, some twenty-four
miles west down the left bank of the Riet River. We had a long halt on the
3rd, and arrived after a hot march on the 4th, whereupon the Boers fell back
from Koedoesberg Drift (which they had occupied on hearing of the movement
of our force), on to a hill behind. In the next two days the brigade crossed and
io A Military History of Perthshire
occupied the southern crest of the " berg." On the yth the brigade cleared the
hill, but we lost two most valuable officers — one mortally wounded, the other
killed outright — Captain Eykyn and Lieutenant Tait.
The Boers rode away in a north-easterly direction, a cavalry brigade arriving
too late to intercept them. The casualties in the regiment were 2 officers and
2 men killed, 7 N.C.O.s and men wounded.
We heard afterwards that this feint of a move to the relief of Kimberley had
puzzled the Boers most successfully.
The whole force arrived back at Modder River on the gth, and found that
Lord Roberts had come up. He made a most complimentary speech to the
brigade on the following day.
On the I2th of February the brigade, which now formed part of the gth Divi-
sion under General Colvile, moved by rail to Enslin (eighteen miles south), and
starting on the I3th at 6 A.M., crossed the frontier of the Orange Free State.
During the next few days we made long marches, but saw no fighting until
we reached the Modder River at Paardeberg Drift, which we did shortly before
midnight on the I7th of February. There, owing to the capture of a large
convoy by the Boers at Waterval Drift on the i5th, we were only served with
half-rations of biscuit and tea, but we had a full ration of meat.
We bivouacked on the morning of the i8th close to Paardeberg Drift, and,
just before " breakfasts " were " up " at 5.30 A.M., we heard shots fired at some
mounted infantry from the opposite (the right or northerly) bank of the river,
and the brigade fell in.
We marched a quarter of a mile to the east in single file, and then turned to
our left and faced the river, from the banks of which, as also from a ridge on our
right, broke a sharp fire. These banks were precipitous, and about ten or twelve
feet high, covered with bush and stunted thorn. On the right bank several
Boers had climbed into the trees, but little damage was done by the enemy's
fire. Cronje's main laager was to the brigade's right front. General MacDonald
was on the extreme left of the brigade (at a point where some bushes are shown
on the left of the sketch), and behind us was " Kitchener's Kop," where stood
Lord Kitchener, who was in command of all three divisions. By 7 A.M. some
of the companies on the left of the brigade — A and B Companies of the Black
Watch and a company of the Seaforth under 2nd Lieutenant McClure — were
at the river bank. The river was in spate and said to be unfordable. However,
one of our officers and a piper, Donald Cameron (Doune), tested it, and the
officer, thinking that if he could cross he could clear the bush on the right bank
of snipers, proceeded to call up his widely-extended company to the spot where
a crossing was possible. Each lot of ten as they came up linked arms, hung
their ammunition pouches round their necks, and plunged in. A bugler, Purdie,
was nearly swept away, but was seized by Sergeant Millar (Alyth) and saved.
The water was up to the men's waists. Piper Cameron was the first across, and
helped the officer out ; he received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his
gallantry on this occasion. Two more companies of the Black Watch and the
The Black Watch in South Africa ii
company of the Seaforth followed across, and extended at right angles to the
river, with their right moving along the river bank ; but owing to the formation
of the ground the three companies on the left got rather widely separated from
the directing company. As the four companies moved forward they were met
by a sharpish fire from a deep donga, and to their left front sixty mounted Boers
rode away at a gallop. After advancing some six hundred yards along the bank,
SKETCH MAP OF PAARDEBERG, iStH FEBRUARY 1900
and being then three hundred and fifty yards from the donga, the officer in
charge received orders from the left bank to halt, and hold on to the ground
gained, as these companies were now masking the fire of the rest of the brigade
on the opposite side of the river.
A fourth company of the Black Watch and some more men of the Seaforth
now reinforced the left companies of this detachment, while the right company
on the river bank was reinforced by some of the Shropshire Light Infantry. The
pioneers of the regiment, under Sergeant Howden (who also has received the
Distinguished Conduct Medal for this engagement) brought over large supplies
of ammunition. At about 3 P.M. the igth Brigade (our sister brigade) made a
12 A Military History of Perthshire
charge over the open in which all the companies of our brigade on the right bank
of the river took part — except our extreme right company, which was too far in
advance to form part of the charging line. This charge failed to get home, though
it cleared the donga and drove the Boers into the laager.
Meantime on the right, across the river, the remainder of the battalion was
firing into the double tier of small trenches near the laager on the right bank
and into another row of trenches on the left bank, at about seven hundred yards.
The right bank being higher than the left, the Boers had practically three tiers
of fire, but in spite of this E Company fought its way to the left bank of the river.
It was here that Colonel Carthew-Yorstoun, Major Maxwell, and Major Berkeley
were wounded. The battalion was for twelve hours fiercely engaged until night-
fall, when the whole force withdrew, with the exception of the company on the
right of the river, which, with a company of the Shropshires, entrenched itself,
as if it had fallen back the snipers could have again occupied the bushes near
the donga. Other men who received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for this
day were Sergeant Millar, Lance-Corporal Forrett, Private J. Smith, and
Pioneer Hastie.
We lost a most excellent officer killed, who was attached to one of the com-
panies north of the river — Lieutenant J. G. Grieve, of the New South Wales
Permanent Forces. Our total casualties were i officer, 18 N.C.O.s and men
killed, 5 officers, 74 N.C.O.s and men wounded, out of 15 officers, 640 N.C.O.s
and men who went into action.
The following day the battalion, which had now only eight officers (one other
being down with enteric), was employed on reconnaissance with the Argylls,
while the company across the river, which had found four dead Boers and several
horses in the deserted donga, was relieved at about 10 A.M. by some of the
igth Brigade. This company was rationed at mid-day, after having been thirty-
six hours without a meal. The rumour of Cronje's surrender on Monday the
igth raised every one's spirits to the highest pitch, so that, when it proved false,
the next few days of constant bombardment fell rather flat.
On the night of the 26th of February two companies, A and B, were sent
over to General Smith-Dorrien, and formed part of the picquet line surrounding
the laager, with orders to prevent any Boer stragglers breaking away. During
the night the 6-inch howitzers spoke from time to time. At 2 A.M. on the 27th
(Amajuba Day), the Canadians, who had sapped to within forty yards of the
laager, and the Shropshire Light Infantry, at a much longer range, began pouring
in a heavy fire towards the laager, from which we were five thousand yards
distant. It was very dark, so the fire must have been unaimed. The Boers
replied to it, but the Canadians were the only sufferers. The moon rose at
2.20, and at 3.30 the firing ceased. As soon as it was light the laager, which
had been knocked to pieces by our shells, was seen to be displaying white
flags everywhere, and news of Cronje's surrender with 3700 Boers reached us
at 7 A.M.
Three Krupp guns, one quick-firing gun, quantities of ammunition, and
The Black Watch in South Africa 13
plenty of food were found in the laager. The ground was littered with clothing,
tins, letters, books, and carcases of horses and oxen. The smells were appalling.
The trenches, which extended for a mile and a half on both banks, were each
about six feet long, five feet deep, and thirty inches wide, beautifully constructed,
and well concealed. A small building in the laager was used as a hospital, with
a German doctor in charge.
Several officers and men joined us during this week from various hospitals
and from home.
On the 4th of March we started again, trekking towards Bloemfontein. We
had had a very damp week of it at Paardeberg, and the drinking water had been
very yellow and smelly, so we were glad to get on the move. Our clothes and
shoes also were much in need of repair, but the Queen's telegram of congratulation
on the Paardeberg capture was a very pleasing incentive to spur us all on.
We were now moving on the right bank of the Modder River.
On the yth of March we left Makouw's Drift at 5.15 A.M., the brigade being
in front of the gth Division, in Echelon from the right. At about 7 A.M. one of
the enemy's guns opened fire on us from a steep kopje on the other (south) side
of the river at a range of five thousand yards. Our three naval 12-pounders
replied. The Argylls were on the bank of the river, we next them, and beyond
us the Seaforth. General Colvile ordered B, C, and A Companies of the regiment
to push on along the river with the Argylls, but the brigade was considerably
delayed by the fact that we were ahead of all the cavalry on the left bank, owing
to their having to make a long detour. As we advanced the enemy ran like rabbits,
after firing a few shots at fourteen hundred yards, and one or two of our picked
shots made very pretty shooting at this range. We found meat cooking in the
hastily- dug trenches the enemy had deserted, and three or four miles further
east could see their waggons trekking as hard as possible towards Bloemfontein.
They left tents, blankets, and ammunition behind them.
From where we were we saw our whole army spread out — the 6th Division
on our left, then the mounted infantry and igth Brigade, while on our right were
the cavalry and the 7th Division. There were eight casualties in the gth Divi-
sion, none in the regiment. The 6th Division captured two guns. At 4.30 P.M.
we reached the farm-house at Poplar Grove just quitted by Steyn and Kruger.
On the 8th we recrossed the Modder River to the left bank.
On the loth of March the 6th Division was hotly engaged at Driefontein, but
we were not under fire — although as no clasp was given for Poplar Grove, we
received the " Driefontein " clasp. A company was detailed as a burying party
and buried no of the enemy's dead.
We proceeded on our march, averaging sixteen miles daily, through a pleasant
enough country, and on the I3th of March arrived at Ferreira Spruit, five miles
south of Bloemfontein. We moved to Bloemfontein town commonage on the
I5th of March, and proceeded to try to refit in the shops. This town, of some
10,000 inhabitants, is now well known — a well-kept, clean little place. Our
camp, owing to the incessant rains, soon became a veritable quagmire, but never-
14 A Military History of Perthshire
theless the brigade suffered less from sickness than any other part of the force
which was lying there.
In about a week the railway was opened, and after that all the reservists of
Section D (many of whom had joined on hearing the news of Magersfontein), the
Militia Reserve of our 3rd Battalion, the ist Volunteer Company under Captain
R. Millar, old officers who had volunteered for the " Reserve of Officers," all came
pouring in and swelled the regiment to 31 officers and nearly 900 rank and file.
On the 3ist of March the battalion formed part of the force which, under
General Colvile, marched to Sanna's Post, to try to recover the seven guns of
U and Q Batteries, R.H.A. ; but we reached Waterval Drift (twenty-four miles)
too late. We were never under heavy fire that day, and had no casualties, the
only ones in the brigade being two men of the Argylls, wounded. We arrived
back in Bloemfontein on the 3rd of April.
On the 24th of April General Colvile's command, consisting of the Highland
Brigade, two naval 4.7-inch guns, one battery R.F.A., and fifty mounted men,
moved east very lightly equipped, leaving tents and all surplus baggage at
Bloemfontein.
We started marching north on the 2nd of May with the town of Winburg as
our objective. The battalion as advanced-guard carried on the 4th of May a
big hill named Baviansberg, with a loss of 3 men wounded — a fight of which Lord
Roberts wrote in his daily report — " The Black Watch distinguished themselves
and were very well led." We arrived on the 6th at Winburg, which had sur-
rendered to General Ian Hamilton the previous day. E Company left us here,
and joined Lord Roberts' main army as escort to the naval guns of the nth
Division. This company took part in the actions of Johannesburg, Diamond
Hill, and Belfast, and rejoined the battalion in November 1900.
We left Winburg at 9 P.M. on the iyth and reached Ventersburg (thirty-four
miles) at 3 P.M. next day. On the 23rd we again moved on, having been
reinforced by 5 officers and 100 men. We made an eighteen-mile march on the
Queen's birthday. On the 25th and 26th we were opposed when going into
Lindley by a force of some 1000 Boers under Prinsloo. The battalion lost
i killed and 9 wounded ; but owing to the way in which the brigade was handled
it had altogether only a few casualties and hardly met with a check, although
our small mounted force, which had suffered greatly, had shrunk to thirty-five
men. That evening we were sniped in our camping- ground outside the town.
At Lindley we had expected a reinforcement of Imperial Yeomanry under
Colonel Spragge, but as General Colvile had to be in Heilbron by the 30th of
May we pushed on next day without them. The regiment was the rearguard,
and was sniped at all day during the seventeen-mile march by some fifty Boers,
who hung about two thousand yards behind us. On the 28th the Seaforth and
Argylls bore the brunt of the fighting on the right flank and in rear. The Boers,
whose total force must have numbered fully 2800 men, under the two De Wets
and Prinsloo, opened fire with two guns from a kopje three thousand yards to
our left front, but our naval guns quickly persuaded them to move. We know
The Black Watch in South Africa 15
that the enemy suffered severely, as we afterwards found many of their wounded
in Heilbron.
The following day they avoided coming within any reasonable range, and
tried to check our advance by fire from three guns placed on a hill named Spitz
Kop, outside Heilbron (these guns were always on this hill to greet us on every
subsequent occasion on which we marched by this road). After a long march
we arrived in Heilbron on the night of the 2Qth — a hundred and twenty-six miles
in eight days. All our advanced, rear, and flank guards had been performed by
infantry, so many men must have covered an average of well over twenty miles
a day. There was no falling out or straggling, and in brigade orders General
MacDonald said of his force — " Their coolness and discipline through the long
and trying march was most marked, and only for their cheerful determina-
tion to overcome all obstacles and gain their destination on the date appointed
by Lord Roberts, I feel certain the distance could not have been completed in
face of the opposition met with."
We had for some time been on half-rations of everything but meat, and on
the 4th of June a convoy of 160 details, bringing provisions from the railway,
eighteen miles distant, failed to reach us. However there was plenty of flour
in the town, and we were never really short of provisions, and could have reached
the railway at any time if it had been necessary. The Boers, said to number
4000, sniped the picquets daily, but did no damage.
On the 2nd of June our force was increased by a most useful body of men —
100 Lovat's Scouts — another 100 of whom joined the brigade later.
On the yth of June Lord Methuen came in from Lindley with three infantry
regiments, fourteen guns, and 1500 yeomanry. The battalion and 50 Lovat's
Scouts, all under Colonel Carthew-Yorstoun, went out with them on the gth to
bring back a convoy.
On the loth we were going south, and were west of the railway line, when we
heard several explosions on it, and at about i P.M. the regiment found itself in
face of three small kopjes, which were strongly held. The enemy, however, did
not wait, and we could see 600 to 1000 Boers riding south over the veld. We
had one man wounded (at two thousand yards), took nine prisoners, and found
three dead Boers.
We came straight on the ransacked camp of the unfortunate Derbyshire
Militia — a pitiful sight, with the graves close by.
On the igth of June we met with some opposition when returning to Heilbron.
We were out from the 2yth to the 2Qth on the Kroonstad road, but failed to
get in touch with the enemy — some 1000 Boers with three guns — who trekked south.
The branch railway to Heilbron had now been open a few days, and on the
ist of July three battalions of the Highland Brigade, together with a large
mounted force, moved off with fourteen days' supplies to join General Hunter
at Frankfort, thirty miles east of Heilbron. The Argylls remained as a temporary
garrison to Heilbron. We averaged fourteen miles a day, and early on the gth
of July reached Bethlehem, which General Clements had occupied on the 7th.
The Black Watch in South Africa 17
The town lies 5300 feet above the sea, and is some seventy-five miles south of
Frankfort. Owing to the altitude the nights were bitterly cold.
On the 22nd of July the brigade moved out of Bethlehem to Vaal Krantz
Farm, five miles north of Retief's Nek. The sketch below represents the general
appearance of the hills from a kopje just south of the farm.
The situation roughly was as follows :— Inside a semicircle of high precipitous
hills, resembling the giant parapet of a redoubt, lies the little town of Fouries-
burg. This natural redoubt is fifteen miles from north to south, forty miles
from east to west, and its gorge is closed by the Caledon River— the Basutoland
march. Inside the mountain parapet is a rich and more level country. The
whole is known as the Brandwater Basin, and the hills are the Wittebergen.
There are only five entrances into the basin — Commando Nek in the south-west

corner, Slabbert Nek on the western side, Retief's Nek in the north-west corner,
Naauwpoort Nek on the north, and the Golden Gate on the east.
Inside the basin were, when we arrived at Bethlehem, 8000 Free Staters
under Steyn, Christian De Wet, and Prinsloo. Steyn and De Wet, with 2000
men, seeing the net being drawn round them, on the night of the I5th of July
managed to pass out of Slabbert Nek within a mile of a British column, without
being detected. On the 22nd, when supplies reached us, a general advance was
made on all the western entrances.
The night of the 22nd was bitterly cold, and the snow was lying three inches
deep on the ground. General Hunter was with the brigade, and had besides
Lovat's Scouts, Rimington's Guides, one battery artillery, and two 5-inch guns,
while the Sussex Regiment and an additional battery R.F.A. co-operated with
the brigade on the extreme right. Lovat's Scouts having thoroughly recon-
noitred the two north-eastern neks, the Black Watch was sent at 4.30 A.M. on
the 23rd to the round hill (marked B.W. on the sketch), with a view to gaining
the saddle-backed hill behind. The two 5-inch guns, from a small kopje on the
plain below, rained their shells into the nek, and the noise of Paget's guns away
to the west firing into Slabbert Nek sounded as if the British were clamouring
at the fortress gates for admittance. The H.L.I, in the centre were firing
II. B
1 8 A Military History of Perthshire
at the big hill to the left of Retief's Nek. The Sussex, who had had a very long
march, appeared at mid- day, and in most gallantly advancing towards the right
of the nek, which was impregnable, lost more than fifty men. However, the
Black Watch on the left managed to press forward, and at 6 P.M. rushed fourteen
hundred yards of bare valley under cover of the fire of two companies left on
the round kopje, topped the saddle-back, and opened a heavy fire on the flying
Boers at two hundred yards range. This saddle-backed kopje commanded the
whole of the back of the big hill on the left of the nek, and our possession of it
rendered the nek untenable by the enemy. Here we bivouacked. At day-
break the Boers, who had not disclosed a gun on the 23rd, fired a few shells at
us from two guns, but by 8 A.M. were on the move south. The Seaforth moved
up on our left and fired at them as they fled down a deep donga running east-
south-east.
On the 24th Slabbert Nek was also evacuated by the enemy.
On the 23rd at Retief's Nek we suffered a very heavy loss in the death of
Major Ernest Willshire, who was mortally wounded. Our other casualties were
i man killed, I officer and 15 men wounded. The Boers lost a good many killed.
On the night of the 24th we bivouacked inside Retief's Nek.
The next day General Hunter went on to Fouriesburg, while the brigade,
under General MacDonald, joined General Bruce Hamilton's force, and marched
outside the mountain wall to Naauwpoort Nek, the battalion on the 26th carrying
a position held by the Harrismith Commando at Davels Rust with a loss of six
wounded. Meantime the Camerons and Lovat's Scouts, assisted by the 5 -inch
guns, captured Naauwpoort Nek.
On the 29th General Hunter heliographed the welcome news of Prinsloo's
surrender with 5000 Boers inside the basin — the biggest capture made during
the war.
Our portion of the force went on to Harrismith, which we entered on the
4th of August. The hoisting of the Union Jack was greeted enthusiastically
by the inhabitants, of whom a large number were Scots.
From Harrismith we returned via Bethlehem and Lindley to Heilbron, which
we reached after an engagement in which the H.L.I, on our right flank had fifty
casualties, mostly caused by shell-fire from Spitz Kop.
From the i4th to the 26th of August we rested after our daily marching, and
managed to get in some sadly-needed stores of clothing and shoes. From
Heilbron we went to Kroonstad and then back to Winburg, marching daily some
fifteen miles and scouring the country as we went ; but it was not until the I3th
of September that we ran into a convoy of 700 Boers under Haasbroek at Karree-
fontein, twenty-five miles south of Winburg. The Boers broke at once, pursued
by Lovat's Scouts. Eight prisoners and thirty waggons of stores were captured,
also 80,000 rounds of rifle and 75 rounds of big-gun ammunition, and dynamite
besides. We continued our marching through this country, and on the I7th of
September formed part of a combined movement on the Doornberg, a long hill
north of Winburg, where General Rundle captured four guns and thirty waggons.
The Black Watch in South Africa 19
After trekking north we were ordered into Kroonstad, and sent down by rail to
Bloemfontein, whence we marched out to Ladybrand.
Up to the I3th of October 1900 the battalion had covered by road (not in-
cluding any deviations for fighting and flanking movements) well over twelve
hundred miles.
IpOO-Ol. From the I3th of October 1900 to the 25th of September 1901 we
formed the garrison of the Ladybrand district. Our picquets, which enclosed
over a hundred square miles of country, formed part of a chain of posts running
from Bloemfontein to the Basutoland border. The Boers never tried to break
through our part of the line, though occasionally our outer posts were fired at
and our various mounted infantry posts were constantly in touch with the
enemy. Until the 22nd of August 1901 we were invariably successful, but on
that date a force of fifty mounted infantry which had been detached to
surprise a farm named Evening Star, found itself surrounded at dawn on
an isolated kopje. In order to guard the horses the party was split up round
the base of the hill, and after fourteen hours' fighting, the ammunition being
exhausted, each small section of the force was successively overpowered, i man
being killed and i officer and 4 men wounded. This was the only capture of
any of our men during the war, with the exception of the forty-two men on the
hill at Magersfontein, and two men, one of whom lost his way, and the other
of whom was engaged on telegraph work at Heilbron.
In September 1901 the battalion was railed to Natal to help to meet Louis
Botha's threatened attack, and a detachment was sent on to Zululand.
IOOI-02. From November 1901 to February 1902 four companies were with
Colonel Rimington's column and took part in the great " drives " in the
Orange River Colony. One N.C.O. was killed on the 23rd of February. Two
other companies which also took part in these " drives " were with Colonel Byng,
and three were with General Spens. The ist Battalion relieved these companies
in March 1902.
A mounted infantry company from the 2nd Battalion served with Colonel
Western's column in the " drives " in the Western Transvaal which were carried
out by General Walter Kitchener in March, and by Sir Ian Hamilton in May
1902. This company also took part in the successful surprise of Schweizer
Reneke by Colonel Rochfort in April. In March it covered a hundred and fifty
miles in less than three days without losing a man or horse.
A smaller detachment of fifty was in all the " drives " in the Northern Trans-
vaal, and one officer, twenty-five N.C.O.s and men, formed the garrison of No. 9
Armoured Train from July 1901 onwards.
From March 1902 until the end of the war (3ist May 1902) the battalion
formed part of the garrison of Harrismith, which (as related elsewhere) also
included our ist Battalion. The two battalions therefore, for the first time on
record, had the pleasure of serving together.
After having been two years and seven months on active service the 2nd
Battalion sailed for India in October 1902.
20 A Military History of Perthshire
Throughout the campaign 77 officers, 2437 N.C.O.s and men passed through
the ranks of the battalion ; n officers (including Lieutenant Grieve, attached),
119 N.C.O.s and men were killed or died of wounds while serving with it ; 71
men died of disease ; 17 officers and some 340 N.C.O.s and men were wounded.
In addition, both of our medical officers were wounded — Lieutenant H. E.
M. Douglas (who subsequently received the V.C. and D.S.O.) at Magersfontein,
and Captain G. H. Goddard at Paardeberg.
Scattered on the lonely veld are the graves of those who fell in South Africa.
Over many the wail of " Lochaber no more " never sounded, but the gaps in
the ranks are filled, and still the red hackle and dark tartan are guarding the
marches of the Empire.

THE SCOTTISH HORSE
THE RAISING AND ORGANISATION
OF THE REGIMENT
BY THE EDITOR
WHEN in November 1900 Lord Kitchener took over the command of the
forces in South Africa, preparations were immediately begun for a vigorous
campaign which was to be mainly conducted by mounted troops. For this
more mounted men were urgently required, and the formation of various new
regiments of mounted infantry was accordingly sanctioned without delay.
Among other offers of help came a suggestion from the Caledonian Society
of Johannesburg that a corps should be raised under the name of " The Scottish
Horse," to be recruited from Scotsmen in South Africa. As the Society could
guarantee a number of men, and as the name of the corps seemed one calcu-
lated to attract the numerous South Africans of Scots descent, the Commander-
in-Chief readily agreed to the proposal. No well-known Scotsman, however,
was immediately forthcoming as commanding officer, and recruiting for the
new corps hung fire for a week or two, until Lord Kitchener offered the command
to Captain the Marquess of Tullibardine, D.S.O. (Royal Horse Guards), who was
then at Newcastle in Natal — wiring to him to "send out the fiery cross." The
raising of the new corps then commenced in earnest. Lord Tullibardine ap-
pointed Captain A. Blair, D.S.O. (King's Own Scottish Borderers) and Captain
Sir William Dick-Cunyngham (the Black Watch), second-in-command and
adjutant respectively, and started at once for Johannesburg, sending Captain
Blair to recruit in Cape Town, and Sir William Dick-Cunyngham to enlist the help
of the Caledonian Societies of Durban and Maritzburg, and of the leading Scots-
men in Natal. The Scottish Horse was gazetted on December the I5th, igoo,1
and within a week Lord Tullibardine had established a recruiting office and
regimental depot at Johannesburg, and had raised there his first troop. He
then returned to Maritzburg, where for the next five weeks he was busy recruit-
ing, organising, equipping, and training his men. Recruiting was not easy, as
so many new corps were being raised, but Lord Tullibardine and his officers
worked hard ; Caledonian Societies and Scotsmen generally gave what help
they could ; and, though the Commanding Officer was very particular as to the
class of men he enlisted, by the beginning of February 1901 the Scottish Horse
1 Lord Tullibardine was given local rank of major and shortly afterwards local rank of lieutenant-
colonel while commanding the Scottish Horse. Captain Blair was given local rank of major.

A TROOPER OF THE SCOTTISH HORSE
(From a Water-colour Drawing by Jane D. Constable)
GUN-CARRIAGE OF THE 84™ BATTERY R.F.A., PRESENTED BY THE WAR OFFICE IN
RECOGNITION OF THE GALLANTRY OF THE SCOTTISH HORSE AT
BAKENLAAGTE, 30™ OCTOBER 1901
The Raising of the Scottish Horse 31
was a regiment four squadrons strong,1 with full complement of officers, and
included besides, fifty special scouts and fifty picked cyclists.
The men were recruited mainly from Natal, though about a squadron came
from the Cape ; more than half were Scots or of Scots descent. The enlist-
ment was for six months only, and the pay (as in all the South African Irregular
Corps) was 55. a day for a trooper, other ranks being paid in proportion. Lord
Tullibardine was fortunate in securing from the first the aid of several capable
and experienced officers, who rendered valuable service. One of the first to join
was Captain " Pete " Rattray, a Perthshire man, who was shortly followed by his
three brothers.
Early in February IQOI the Scottish Horse left Maritzburg for Johannesburg,
and from thence was sent to join a column commanded by Colonel Flint, then
operating in the Western Transvaal. Under Colonel Flint, and later under
Colonel Shekleton, the regiment was for some weeks busily engaged in help-
ing to clear the Losberg and Gatsrand Mountains and the basin of the Vaal —
a fertile region which up to that time had been De Wet's base of supplies. The
column did its work so thoroughly that De Wet was never afterwards able
to get supplies from that district. Towards the end of March Brigadier-General
Cunningham assumed command of the column, and operations were then
begun in the Magaliesberg Mountains and the surrounding country — ground
which the men of the Scottish Horse were to know well before the end of
the war.
In the meantime Lord Tullibardine, wishing to command a more representa-
tive Scots corps, had obtained Lord Kitchener's leave to apply for Scotsmen
from Home and from Australia. He accordingly wired early in January 1901
to ask the Highland Society of London and the Caledonian Society of Melbourne
to get him recruits. A ready response came from Australia that 250 Victorians
were ready to join him. They sailed shortly afterwards, and landed in Cape
Town on March the 8th — a fine body of men, well educated, of sturdy, inde-
pendent character, and first-rate horsemen. Several officers were appointed
from their number. As the regiment which had already been raised in South
Africa was up to the requisite strength, the Australians became the nucleus
of a second regiment of Scottish Horse, and the organisation of this new unit\
proceeded apace.
The Highland Society of London was as ready to help as the Victorian
Government, but the military authorities at Home were at first afraid that if
recruiting for the Scottish Horse were sanctioned it might interfere with the
extensive recruiting which was then going on for the Yeomanry. With the
help of the Duke of Atholl, however, Sir Fitzroy Maclean and a deputation
from the Highland Society finally arranged the matter with the Secretary of
State, and in February, March, and April, 4 officers and 397 men, of whom
309 were Scotsmen, were sent out in successive drafts to the Scottish Horse.
They were classed as Imperial Yeomanry, but from the day of their arrival in
1 Squadrons A, B, C, and D.
3 a A Military History of Perthshire
South Africa they were directly under Lord Tullibardine — not the Yeomanry
authorities. They were enlisted for a year, or until the end of the war. Most
of these men were sent to join the Australians, and completed the establishment
of the 2nd Regiment.
It was decreed however, to the great disappointment of the Commanding
Officer, that the two regiments were not to be kept together in the field, and
it thus henceforward became impossible for him to be permanently with either.
In view of this and of the constant recruiting necessitated by the short period
for which the South Africans and Australians were enlisted, Lord Kitchener
judged it best for Lord Tullibardine to establish his headquarters at Johannes-
burg— from thence to pay visits in turn to both regiments, to keep them con-
stantly supplied with fresh drafts of men and horses, and, while controlling
both, to leave the actual command of the regiments in the field to commanding
officers who could be permanently there. The wisdom of this step was fully
justified by events; the Scottish Horse increased steadily in numbers — not
by recruiting in South Africa (where it soon became almost impossible, owing
to competition, to get a good class of men), but by further drafts from Home
and from Australia ; the regimental organisation was immensely improved,
and the officers and men in the field were kept supplied with horses, transport,
clothing, food-stuffs, &c., in a way which would have been impossible had there
been no central regimental staff at Johannesburg.
In March 1901 Lord Tullibardine appointed Major F. D. Murray (the
Black Watch) and Captain Michael Lindsay (Seaforth Highlanders) — both most
gallant and capable officers — commanding officer and adjutant respectively of
the 2nd Scottish Horse. About a fortnight was spent at Middleburg in organisa-
tion, equipment, and training, and by the middle of April the new regiment took
the field — a fine corps, four squadrons strong,1 composed equally of Australians
and Scotsmen from Home.2 These men had the good fortune to be placed in
a column commanded by that most able officer, Colonel G. E. Benson, R.A.
(who had as intelligence officer Lieutenant-Colonel Wools Sampson), and for
many months they trekked continuously, and with great success — sometimes
north of the railway line to Delagoa Bay, sometimes south of it — but always
in the Eastern Transvaal. Colonel Benson wrote of the 2nd Scottish Horse
that " both men and horses were excellent," that " their organisation was one
to be copied," and that he " defied any troops to scout better." A system
devised by Lord Tullibardine, under which native scouts, commanded by one
of their own chiefs, were attached to each regiment, was also much praised by
Colonel Benson. The chief undertook to have a certain number of men always
with the regiment, and as he was made responsible for their behaviour and
could enforce obedience, the work done by these scouts was admirable.
From April to October 1901 the 2nd Regiment took part in several gallant
fights and many forced marches (frequently by night), resulting in large captures
1 Squadrons E, F, G, and H.
2 In May a fifth squadron (L), composed of men from Home, joined the 2nd Regiment.
The Raising of the Scottish Horse 33
of Boers with their horses, cattle, and ammunition. A fight at Elandskloof on
the 3rd of July deserves special mention ; there Major Murray and some twenty-
six officers and men withstood the attack of sixty Boers for three-quarters of an
hour. The firing was at close quarters and very hot, but the Scottish Horse
held its own until reinforcements came, when the Boers withdrew. Several
officers and men were recommended for gallantry on this occasion, and Lieu-
tenant W. J. English was awarded the V.C. Colonel Benson and his column
were known and feared throughout the Eastern Transvaal ; the enemy fled ever
at their approach ; and it was only when Botha had concentrated a large body of
men for his attempted invasion of Natal that the Boers dared to attack them,
determined if possible by their superior numbers to wipe out this small force
which had done them so much harm. The engagement which followed is
described later ; it suffices here to say that on October the 3oth, near Baken-
laagte, the Boers overwhelmed the rearguard of Colonel Benson's column, killing
Colonel Benson himself, Major Murray, Captain Lindsay, and three other officers
and twenty-eight men of the Scottish Horse. The regiment also had four
officers and thirty-six men wounded, most of whom were hit in several places.
No words can describe the loss the Scottish Horse suffered that day; but that
heroic stand on the ridge by the guns was not in vain ; it saved the camp and
the rest of the column from total destruction, and it remains for all time an
instance of that self-sacrifice and devotion to duty in the face of overwhelming
odds, for which the British soldier has ever been famous.
But to return to the ist Scottish Horse. In April, after an engagement at
Slipstein Kopjes in which the cyclist corps suffered some loss, the command
of the column was given to Brigadier-General Dixon. Shortly afterwards Major
C. E. Duff (8th Hussars) was appointed to command the regiment, with Major
Blair as second-in-command; and as Sir William Dick-Cunyngham at the same
time took up the duties of regimental adjutant at the headquarters in Johannes-
burg, Captain H. A. F. Watson (Lancashire Fusiliers) became adjutant ist Scottish
Horse. Early in May Lord Tullibardine obtained leave to recruit men from
the ist Volunteer Service Companies of Scots regiments. These companies
were about to return Home, but about a hundred men joined the Scottish
Horse and formed a very fine squadron — J — which was sent to the ist Regiment,
and which subsequently gained for itself a reputation extending far beyond
the column with which it trekked. Another squadron — K — consisting of a
contingent from Home which arrived about this time, was also sent to the ist
Regiment. Some of the ist Scottish Horse were present during the latter part
of the engagement at Vlakfontein in May 1901 ; they arrived on the scene at a
critical moment of the fight and rendered very good service. In June a good
many of the South-African-enlisted men left the ist Regiment, owing to the
expiry of their engagement, but Lord Tullibardine, anticipating this, had
already cabled to the Duke of Atholl to raise him two more squadrons. The
Duke immediately arranged with the War Office to open recruiting stations
for the Scottish Horse at Inverness, Aberdeen, Perth, Stirling, and Edinburgh.
IT. c
34 A Military History of Perthshire
He himself was put in charge of the recruiting, and the result was the despatch
in June of a fine body of Scotsmen, 224 strong, with four officers. These men
arrived in July, and after training at Elandsfontein, were sent out to the
ist Regiment as squadrons C and D, to replace two of those originally raised.
In August the ist Scottish Horse once more changed its column commander —
but for the last time ; henceforth it was under Colonel Kekewich (the defender
of Kimberley), and led by him, with Major Duff as its Commanding Officer, the
regiment made many successful treks and large captures of Boers and stock.
But, like the 2nd Regiment, the ist was also to have its hour of trial. Early
on the morning of September the 3Oth, Delarey and Kemp, seizing an occasion
when Colonel Kekewich's force was temporarily isolated and reduced in numbers,
made a fierce attack on his camp at Moedwil. An account of this fight is given
elsewhere, but it may be mentioned here that Colonel Kekewich's column made
a most gallant stand, and that the attack was repulsed, though with terrible
loss. The Scottish Horse had three officers (including its very capable adjutant,
Captain Watson) and seventeen men killed, besides twelve officers and forty-
one men wounded. The losses occurred chiefly among the men of the two
new squadrons, who stood their ground nobly, though receiving their baptism of
fire. Major Blair was severely wounded, and Sir William Dick-Cunyngham
became second-in-command of the ist Scottish Horse. On October the 3Oth
the regiment, though reduced in numbers and sadly short of officers, captured
seventy-five Boers at Beestekraal, on the Crocodile River, after a long night
march.
To replace the casualties at Moedwil Lord Tullibardine obtained permis-
sion to apply for two more squadrons from Home, and the Duke of Atholl
accordingly once more began recruiting. After the further losses at Bakenlaagte,
a month later, the raising of yet another two squadrons was sanctioned ; but no
difficulty whatever was found in getting men — and men of the right sort. They
were keen, brave, well-disciplined, and good shots, and though they could not
ride when they left home, a month's training under a good riding-master at
Johannesburg made them fit for trek.
More Australians too were to come. Most of the first contingent had
returned to Australia in September — their time being up — but another draft of
two hundred took their place, and many of the original contingent returned
when they heard of the casualties among their comrades at Bakenlaagte. What
had been Colonel Benson's column was given after his death to Lieutenant-
Colonel C. J. Mackenzie (Seaforth Highlanders) ; Major A. Jennings-Bramly (igth
Hussars) was appointed to command the 2nd Scottish Horse, and Captain
G. A. Thomas, an Australian officer, became adjutant. Major Bramly was killed,
however, near Lake Banagher on the 2Oth of December 1901 — a great loss to the
regiment. His place was filled by Major L. C. Jones (Indian Staff Corps), who
commanded the 2nd Regiment until the end of the war, during which period
Colonel Mackenzie's column, ever on the move, took part in the " drives "
organised by General Bruce Hamilton in the Eastern Transvaal.
The Raising of the Scottish Horse 35
Changes had also taken place in the ist Regiment, for in November 1901
Captain Lord George Stewart Murray (the Black Watch) was appointed adjutant,
and in December Major H. P. Leader (6th Dragoon Guards) became commanding
officer vice Major Duff, who left to take up the command of the 8th Hussars.
Till the end of the war the ist Scottish Horse was trekking continuously in the
Western Transvaal, and ably led by Major Leader, the regiment helped to score
many successes for Colonel Kekewich's column. One notable engagement was
at Gruisfontein on February the 5th, 1902, where the Scottish Horse, after a
night march in which the mounted troops of Colonel Hickie's column also joined,
surrounded Commandant Sarel Alberts' laager just before dawn, and though met
by a hot fire, captured his entire force, 139 strong.1
Another very successful, though minor, affair was a raid made by Lord
Tullibardine and sixty Australian recruits on a Boer remount farm some miles
out from the Standerton-Ermelo line of block-houses. Though pursued by
a force of more than double its number and engaged in a heavy rearguard action
for about eighteen miles, this small party succeeded in bringing back to the
block-house line over 150 horses, most of which were utilised as remounts.
In March 1902 the 2nd Scottish Horse was divided into two wings, one
of which, composed of Scotsmen, was given to Major Blair, who had by now
recovered from his wounds. The other, consisting entirely of Australians,
remained under the command of Major Jones. The Right (or Scots) Wing was
transferred to Colonel Kekewich's column, so that henceforth all the men who
came from Home — and they now formed the majority of the ist Regiment —
were together. This immensely increased the esprit de corps which from the
beginning had been a marked characteristic of the Scottish Horse. Together
the ist Regiment and Right Wing of the 2nd Regiment withstood the Boer attack
at Rooiwal2 on the nth of April, and greatly distinguished themselves there,
though two of the squadrons of the Right Wing were under fire for the first time
that day.
One more " drive " from Klerksdorp right across to Maf eking and back was
to end the treks of the ist Scottish Horse and Right Wing, while General Bruce
Hamilton's operations in the South-Eastern Transvaal, in which the Australians
of the Left Wing had for six months borne a continuous and arduous part, were
also brought to a close by the signing of peace on the 3 ist of May.
Another squadron — M — making the tenth sent from Home, had been raised
by the Duke of Atholl in April. The men were recruited in only nine days, but
they could not be embarked before May the I7th ; they consequently landed
at Cape Town — to their great disappointment — too late for hostilities.
After despatching at extremely short notice a contingent of officers and men
to represent the Scottish Horse at the Coronation, both regiments were brought
into camp near Johannesburg for disbandment, and for a month all who wished

this capture.

36 A Military History of Perthshire
to remain in South Africa were busily engaged in finding situations. Lord Tulli-
bardine had been beforehand in obtaining offers of employment for his men,
and partly owing to his exertions, and partly to the men's own good character
and to the fact that most of them were trained to some trade, about seven hundred
were settled in the country. A hundred officers and men joined the Natal
Mounted Police on the understanding that they should be kept together as a
squadron, and that they should be allowed to retain the black-cocks' tails in
their hats, and other distinctive badges of the Scottish Horse.
Two hundred and fifty Australians returned to their homes, and the remainder
of the corps — about seven hundred men — came back to Scotland, and were dis-
banded in Edinburgh on September the 3rd, after having been entertained at
luncheon by the Corporation — a great honour, and one much appreciated both
by officers and men.
The main feature to be noted in connection with the Scottish Horse was its
truly Imperial character — the men being drawn, as has been seen, not only
from Scotland, but in large numbers also from South Africa and Australia. The
corps included besides New Zealanders and Canadians, and it is probable that
had the war not ended when it did, negotiations in which Lord Tullibardine
was then engaged would have resulted in a large draft being sent from the
Dominion.
From first to last, some 3500 men passed through the ranks, but owing to
the short period for which the Colonials enlisted, the numbers were continually
fluctuating, and this necessitated constant recruiting and reorganisation. 1843
officers and men in the field (exclusive of those on the high seas or at Home)
was the highest number reached at any one time — a considerable increase this
on the total of 500, which was originally to have been the strength of the
Scottish Horse. Mere numbers, however, would have been nothing without
the esprit de corps for which Scotsmen all over the world are famous, or without
the splendid services rendered by the officers, both Regular and Irregular, whose
help Lord Tullibardine was fortunate enough to secure. The Regular officers
were more numerous than in most Colonial corps, and to this fact, and more
especially to the work done by such officers as Lieutenant-Colonel Duff,
Lieutenant-Colonel Leader, Major Blair, Major Murray, Major Jones, and others
too numerous to mention, the success of the regiment was in great measure due.
The Irregular officers too, of whom the greater number were Australians and
South Africans, did extremely well, and there were many fine squadron-leaders
among them. The men were for the most part of such a high class that it
was possible to replace by promotion from the ranks the majority of the losses
in officers caused by the fights at Moedwil and Bakenlaagte. Forty-six officers
in all were appointed in this way.
From the first Lord Kitchener gave the Commanding Officer a very free hand
in the management of the Scottish Horse, with the result that the corps was
run on its own lines — a system which completely succeeded. Some special
features have already been noticed, but another one may be mentioned, i.e. the
The Raising of the Scottish Horse 37
establishment of an advanced depot for each regiment at a point on the railway
line near the district in which the regiment happened to be trekking. These
advanced depots became also remount depots, and by this means the Scottish
Horse was more easily and quickly supplied with fresh horses than most other
corps.
Another special feature was the establishment, in January 1902, of a con-
valescent camp, to which every man on leaving hospital was sent before return-
ing to duty. This ensured that the men did not get lost by being drafted down
country to distant convalescent camps, which was often otherwise the case.
With the Commanding Officer lay the appointment and promotion of every
officer, Regular or Irregular, though the appointments had to be ratified by the
Commander-in-Chief. What an immense responsibility this was will be seen,
when it is realised that altogether 157 officers served with the corps, and that the
permanent establishment at the end of the war was 91.
In all, 1250 officers and men went from Home to join the Scottish Horse,
and for the raising of 831 of these the Duke of Atholl was personally responsible.
He also rendered valuable service in connection with the drafts sent out in the
spring of 1901.
It should be mentioned that, before leaving Johannesburg, Lord Tullibardine
helped to organise two regiments of Scots Volunteers — one a mounted, the other
an infantry, corps — which, entitled respectively " The Transvaal Scottish " and
" The Scottish Horse," carry on the tradition of his regiment in South Africa.
He is their honorary colonel ; the infantry therefore have kilts of Atholl tartan,
and both regiments wear the characteristic black-cocks' tails in their hats.1
Early in 1903 Lord Tullibardine was appointed to raise and command a
regiment of Imperial Yeomanry, to be recruited from Argyllshire, Perthshire,
Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, and Morayshire, a part of Scotland which, generally
speaking, has hitherto produced but few mounted troops. This corps has now
reached its establishment of some 950 officers and men, and is divided into two
regiments, the first of which has been raised entirely in Perthshire. It per-
petuates the name of the Scottish Horse in this country, and it may be con-
fidently anticipated that the reputation gained by the old regiment in South
Africa will be honourably upheld by the new one.
The foregoing pages, as has been seen, deal chiefly with the personnel and
organisation of the Scottish Horse. How officers and men bore themselves
in action will be told in the following accounts of the three principal engage-
ments in which they took part.

Transvaal Government.
38 A Military History of Perthshire
THE SCOTTISH HORSE IN ACTION1
BY A SQUADRON OFFICER
BAKENLAAGTE— MOEDWIL— ROOIWAL
BAKENLAAGTE, MOEDWIL, and ROOIWAL are the three especial " honours " of
the Scottish Horse. A corps composed of men of all classes, upbringings, pro-
fessions, and occupations — farmers, soldiers, lawyers, business men, Highlanders,
Lowlanders, Australians, South Africans, moulded together and united partly
by a semi-feudal idea, partly by a semi-clannish instinct, partly by an excellent
organisation, primarily by a stolid sense of duty to their country — the Scottish
Horse came into the field at a time when service was more irksome than during
the earlier stages of the war.
At Bakenlaagte, Moedwil, and Rooiwal they were tried and passed their
test, emerging from the war with a record for phlegmatic gallantry which was
beyond question, and which in the eyes of the world placed them in the front
rank of fighting corps, Regular or Irregular.
Yet what they chanced to do on those particular three days, they would
have done whenever asked on any other occasion, and their conduct, " abound-
ing in a spirit of courage and zeal, should neither be disfigured nor forgotten."
BAKENLAAGTE 2 (October 30^, 1901)
" Stranger, go tell the Lacedaemonians that we died in obedience to their laws."
— Epitaph of the Spartans at Thermopylae.
The column under Colonel G. E. Benson, R.A., acting upon information received
by its intelligence officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Wools Sampson, had been operating
in the Bethel District, Eastern Transvaal, and on the evening of the 2gth of
October was encamped at Quaggaslaagte, about forty miles south of Brug Spruit.
Few of the enemy had been seen on the preceding days, but Boers had been
reported to be concentrating in force on the high ground to the north-west, and
the column commander had judged it advisable to fall back upon the line of
block-houses until the situation could be met by a force of greater strength.
1 It should be borne in mind that this article has been written chiefly with a view to showing the
part taken by the Scottish Horse in the engagements described. Comparatively little mention there-
fore has been made of other regiments which distinguished themselves on the same occasions. — [En.]
'J The paper on Bakenlaagte has already in substance appeared in vol. v. of The Times History
of the War, this article and the preceding one — as the only material available with regard to the
Scottish Horse — having been lent in response to a request for information about the regiment.
In case the use of the terms "front" and "rear" in this paper should not be clearly under-
stood, it must be explained that these terms are used in their relation to the column as a whole, and
not to any position taken up by the rearguard. Thus the ground between the rearguard and the rest
of a column is termed the "front," even when the rearguard is faced about and in action. — [En.]
The Scottish Horse at Bakenlaagte 39
The column marched from camp at 4.30 A.M. (daylight) on the soth of October.
The rearguard, consisting of three companies l of the 3rd Mounted Infantry
(180 rifles), one company of infantry (80 rifles), and a pom-pom ("CC" Section),
was under the command of Major F. G. Anley (Essex Regiment). The
2nd Scottish Horse at this time formed part of the main body, and marched
on the right of the transport in company with the remainder of the infantry
and guns.
The terrain is a slightly undulating country. Viewed from a distance, the
veld hereabouts rolls gently like an Atlantic sea on a calm day. The rise and
fall are so gradual that the traveller finds it hard to say at what moment he is
upon the highest point of the undulation. Hence dominating ground is not
easily distinguishable.
The day was cold with a thick mist ; rain was imminent, and the ground
being heavy and holding, the going could hardly have been worse for transport.
As soon as the force moved off parties of Boers began to press upon the rear-
guard, and soon the front and flanks of the column were also engaged. Though
firing was at extreme ranges, one man of the rearguard was killed as early as
4.45 A.M. A little later, the convoy and main body were slowly crossing a drift,
while the mounted men of the rear party were clinging to the high ground some
4000 yards behind. A little band of Boers stole round the mounted screen and
captured seven stragglers of the infantry ; shortly afterwards these men were
returned to the main body stripped of all but their shirts. At 9 A.M. the com-
pany of infantry, being somewhat exhausted, was ordered forward to join the
waggons, and the officer commanding the company was told to take up defensive
positions covering the mounted troops, whenever the convoy should halt. The
rearguard now consisted only of two companies of the mounted infantry and the
pom-pom. Flanking parties of the third company — the Dublin Fusiliers — were
kept out very wide, as the rearguard commander feared that the enemy might
work round between him and the main body.
Till nine o'clock the day was only threatening, but at about that hour a cold
rain began to fall, driving such dense sheets into the faces of the men of the
rearguard that they could see no further than a hundred paces behind them, and
making it impossible to tell where the full force of the Boer attack would fall.
The march of the column, however, continued unchecked, and the convoy still
laboured slowly forward ; but waggons kept sticking fast in the clammy ground,
and by one o'clock two of these had sunk so deep into the mud that they had
dropped a considerable way behind the rest. The rearguard therefore halted
upon some higher ground close to a reedy marsh, while the rest of the column
proceeded on its march, and never halted again until it came into laager at
Bakenlaagte farm. A second pom-pom (" R2") was shortly afterwards sent back
to reinforce the rearguard.
The rain and mist now came on more heavily than ever, and the main body
1 i.e. one company each of the Yorkshire Light Infantry, the North Lancashire Regiment, and the
Dublin Fusiliers.
40 A Military History of Perthshire
had no sooner moved off than a hot fire was opened on the rear screen from
almost every quarter of the compass (as it seemed) but chiefly from the rear —
the increased severity of the attack being due to the arrival of Botha with a
force of some 1000 men, and to the fact that the Boers on the front and flanks
of the column, disliking the rain in their faces, had worked round to the rear
in order to fight with the rain behind them. A message was therefore despatched
to Colonel Benson informing him of the situation.
Still the Boers continued to press on their attack, and Major Anley, finding
the position by the marshes an unfavourable one, decided at length to abandon
the waggons and to fall back upon a second rise some 800 yards nearer the
column. This retirement was safely carried out — the rear screen being hotly
engaged all the while — and in a few moments Colonel Benson himself arrived,
bringing with him two weak squadrons l of the Scottish Horse (73 in all), under
Major F. D. Murray.2 It was these men, together with a company of the
3rd Mounted Infantry, a section of the 84th Battery and its escort of some
twenty men each of the Scottish Horse and 25th Mounted Infantry 3 (6oth Rifles),
who were destined to be the heroes of Bakenlaagte. The flank and advanced-
guards of the column, though engaged throughout the day, were never very
seriously pressed; the glorious story therefore of Bakenlaagte is the story of
the rearguard.
Many minutes had not passed before Colonel Benson had realised that the
second position taken up could not be held, and he accordingly ordered a
retirement on to a third rise, about 1500 yards nearer camp, which he believed
to be held by some 200 infantry and two guns of the 84th Battery. The artillery
and two companies of infantry had, as a matter of fact, been sent back to this
rise by Colonel Wools Sampson, who, as soon as the heavy rain came on, know-
ing the Boers' habits, foresaw that their attack on flanks and front would diminish,
and that the danger to the rearguard would be correspondingly increased.
Together with the guns and their escort, two companies of infantry were to hold
the ridge, while the infantry company which had originally been with the rear-
guard, and which had not yet reached camp, was expected to cover the retire-
ment of the mounted troops.
Each leaving a covering section, and preceded by "CC" pom-pom, which
had done good service all the morning and had now been ordered to gallop
straight into camp,4 the Scottish Horse and 3rd Mounted Infantry retired
simultaneously from their second position, and as they did so, were followed up
1 i.e. Squadrons H and L. — [ED.]
2 Captain and brevet-major the Black Watch ; commanding 2nd Scottish Horse. He had served
for some time on the staff of the Governor of Natal, and in the early days of the war had been signalling
officer to Lord Dundonald. Major Murray was twenty-nine years of age, and had joined the Black
Watch in 1891.
3 This section of the 25th Mounted Infantry did not form part of the gun-escort at the beginning
of the day, but was sent to reinforce it at about II A.M. — [ED.]
4 " R2" had jammed about five minutes previously, and had already been sent on to camp. The
two pom-poms had fired about 2000 rounds during the day. — [Eo.]
The Scottish Horse at Bakenlaagte 41
at a gallop by some 1000 Boers about 1200 yards away. The ridge was reached
in safety — the retirement being aided by a well-sustained fire from Lieutenant
Kelly and the Scottish Horse of the gun-escort, who had been pushed out to the
left rear 1 of the hill. The guns with the remainder of the escort were found in
position on the hill marked A in sketch ; but no companies of infantry were to
be seen, and it was discovered afterwards that the men who should^'have been
on the ridge were sheltering from the heavy rain in a dip beyond it, while the
other company had by that time reached a hollow in rear of hill A, from which
it could give little or no assistance. Also in the hollow, but nearer the ridge,
was a smaller body of infantry which had been told off as additional escort to
the guns.
Major Murray and Captain Lindsay z dismounted by the guns at the head of
the Scottish Horse, commanding and beseeching all who heard them " to stop
and hold the ridge or else they'd lose the guns," in the forlorn hope of checking
the Boers until the guns could be taken away by reinforcements. Their appeal
was nobly answered by all the mounted troops. The Scottish Horse and
Yorkshire Company of the mounted infantry dismounted and formed a strag-
gling line to right and left of the guns — mostly to the right — while the Lanca-
shire Mounted Infantry Company under Major Anley took up a position on a rise
some 1500 yards away to the left (see hill marked B in sketch). The Scottish
Horse of the gun-escort were called up by Major Murray, and their ammunition
being scarce, they were told off as horse-holders. Most of the horses of the
regiment were now sent on to camp — about twenty remaining in charge of six
men of the escort.3
In the meantime, as the covering troop of Scottish Horse under Lieutenant
E. O. Straker abandoned the second position, the leading Boers were only 100 yards
in rear of them, and nothing now checked the onslaught of the whole Boer force.4
Pouring from around a farm to the south-east at which they had been
seen massing, they galloped round to the south-west end of the first rise, sur-
mounted the second, and without a check charged like a regiment of cavalry
in open order. Firing from their horses as they came, and, to use the words
of a spectator, " yelling like savages," they galloped straight into the infantry in
rear of hill A. The men of the smaller party made a gallant resistance, losing
nineteen killed and wounded out of thirty. The others were knocked down
and ridden over or were clubbed by the Boer rifles, and the remainder in a few
1 i.e. right front as they faced the enemy.

(Windsor Herald). Captain Lindsay had been wounded with the Seaforth Highlanders at Magers-
fontein (where he was noticed for conspicuous gallantry), and again with the 2nd Scottish Horse at
Roodekranz on April the 3Oth, 1901.
3 Of these twenty horses only one could finally be brought into camp, and it was hit in three
places.
* The Boers, who, it is believed, were upwards of 2000 strong, were led by Grobelaar of Ermelo,
Erasmus of Carolina, and by Britz and Steyn with the Swaziland Police. Louis Botha (who is said
to have ridden sixty miles to join Grobelaar) was in chief command.
42, A Military History of Perthshire
moments held up their hands in sign of surrender. Lieutenant Straker, with
the Boers " on top of him " (as he describes it), had been forced to gallop
as fast as his horses could move to reach Colonel Benson and the rearguard
on the third rise, and as he was surmounting the latter, his horse stumbled and
fell. He picked himself up shaken and half stunned, and realised that a Boer
had shot at him from a few yards off and missed him. The next instant another
Boer clubbed his rifle and struck him on the head from behind, and he lost con-
sciousness until some hours afterwards, when he awoke to find himself without
coat or boots lying on the ground.1 The men of his covering party — thirteen
in number — were also overtaken before they could reach the rise, and were made
prisoners.

where Colonel Benson made his last stand.
The arrows denote the direction of the Boer attack.
Dropping a few of their number to disarm the infantry, the Boers galloped
on in extended order, and wheeling to their left as they approached, took advan-
tage of some dead ground below the rise marked A to dismount. They then
advanced on foot as near as they could to the guns and brought an overwhelm-
1 As Straker opened his eyes he saw a commandant upbraiding a crowd of Boer laggards and
telling them that he would beat them if they didn't return to the fight, " for if only they came now
they would capture the guns." The laggards then went forward, and four Boers were left behind to
escort the prisoners back to a farm named Kruisemefontein where the laager was. The prisoners
numbered about one hundred, and included (besides the fourteen Scottish Horse mentioned in the
text), one man of the R.A. and six " M.I." They were all wet and cold, without coats or boots. The
main body of Boers arrived in laager about seven o'clock. They were jubilant, and brought in the
guns. "O Khakis," they said, "we'll give you lots of whisky to-night. We're going to take your
convoy now." But in the morning all they said was that the columns were coming and that they
must retire, and at about 8 A.M. Commandant Brets formed up the prisoners and said "It had been
a very good fight, and the English had had over 200 casualties, including Major Murray, and the
prisoners would be released at three o'clock." At about four o'clock, accordingly, the prisoners were
released and walked over to Bakenlaagte camp, five miles off.
The Scottish Horse at Bakenlaagte 43
ing rifle fire to bear on this part of the ridge. The attack made on the rise
marked B was less fierce, the approach to it being very exposed ; the enemy,
however, demonstrated in such force from all points that it was impossible for
Major Anley to reinforce those on hill A. Hill B was held until dark, when
the Lancashire Mounted Infantry fell back on the camp, to assist in its defence.
The doomed guns were in position at about thirty yards interval from one
another. The rise on which they stood was a gentle wave of veld — there was no
definite summit — and between them and the nearest Boers was a strip of open
space about twenty yards broad, dotted with ant-heaps.
The melee which followed — in which the casualties now became so terrific
— of which the survivors are so few — is not easy to describe.
Major Murray crouched down in the open and under a terrific volume of
fire from the Boers began to use his pistol ; the men too settled down to their
rifles and brought a good fire to bear. Right and left of the guns lay seventy-
nine men of the Scottish Horse, and to the left of these the Yorkshire Mounted
Infantry Company, but both right and left of guns and escort were com-
pletely " in the air," inasmuch as on the right the higher continuation of the
ridge, being unoccupied, was at once seized by the Boers, while to the left of
the guns was ground which it had been intended should have been held by the
infantry. The latter, however, had surrendered just below it, and the Boers
had also possessed themselves of this part of the ridge. Ground therefore both
to the immediate left and to the immediate right of the guns was in the enemy's
hands, and an intolerable fire was at once directed upon the gun-escort from
right, left, and front, at ranges never greater than 300 yards, for the most part
not greater than twenty yards — from three quarters of the compass — by an enemy
who outnumbered it by nearly seven to one.1
The position of the mounted troops and the doomed guns began therefore
to be desperate in the extreme, but for some time the Boers did not advance
closer. They brought the same fire to bear from the front, but from the flanks
their fire intensified. They had quickly seen that they could not at present
advance nearer, and had determined to shoot the entire gun-escort from com-
manding ground to right and left before seizing the guns.
I continue the story in the words of a non-commissioned officer of the Scottish
Horse who at this moment was lying beside an ant-heap near the guns. Ten
yards to his left Colonel Benson himself lay behind another smaller ant-heap ;
some five yards from him Major Murray was crouching behind another, and a
little to his right lay Captain Lindsay.
" The guns now fired three shots, of which the last two were case and at a
range of about fifty yards. They then ceased fire and could never fire again, for
all the gunners were killed or wounded in the first three minutes whilst they
served the guns.
" There were a great many ant-heaps near the guns, but no shelter what-
1 This is estimating the number of Boers attacking the ridge at 1500. The British troops, so far
as can be ascertained, were about 220 or 230. — [Eo.]
44 A Military History of Perthshire
ever for the gunners. I had been looking for Major Murray, as my place was
by him, and he was at once conspicuous to me, for he wore a double felt hat and
was half on his knees firing his pistol. The Boers were only about twenty
yards off, and looked to me like two rows of infantry in extended order, covering
an enveloping front of about 1200 yards. I heard Major Guinness l call out
to his sergeant-major to fetch up the gun teams which were just behind the
ridge. There were no gunners left to handle up the limbers, and sending for the
teams of horses when no man dared even show his head above an ant-heap was
a most desperate attempt. As soon as the teams came up the Boers concen-
trated such a fire upon them that I saw all the horses fall in an instant like
corn cut with a scythe, and the artillery sergeant-major who was leading the
first team was shot through the head and all the drivers wounded or killed."
According to this N.C.O. it was immediately after this that Major Murray
and Captain Lindsay were killed — the latter being hit three times. Sergeant
Skinner (Scottish Horse), who was lying about six yards to Major Murray's
right, relates that Captain Inglis of the regiment was killed a few minutes later,
and about the same time Lieutenant Woodman, an Australian officer of the
Scottish Horse, was mortally wounded.
" Soon after this," (to quote the same authority,) " I happened to look at
Colonel Benson, who was lying behind a very small ant-heap about ten yards
from me on my left. He seemed to have been hit in the knee, for it was tied
up, and I saw that he had turned round with his back to the Boers and was
watching the column which was laagered up on the low ground, some 2000 yards
behind us."
Even as Colonel Benson looked, his assistant staff officer, Captain Eyre
Lloyd2 (Coldstream Guards), appeared and dismounted on the farther edge of
the rise, about a hundred yards away, throwing the reins of his horse to a trooper.
In almost the same second, as it seemed, man and horse fell dead. Captain
Lloyd saw this happen, but he walked on towards Colonel Benson with a char-
acteristic smile, and in a manner which can only be described as leisurely. He
was not even carrying a revolver, and his right hand was casually slipped into
his breast 3 as he sauntered defiantly and quite upright across the open space,
shot at by half a thousand rifles at not more than thirty or forty yards' range.
All who saw him wondered at his glorious bravado — a precious example to every
soldier, and one for which he paid the price — for he was severely wounded while
only a few paces from his chief, and never succeeded in reaching him.4
1 84th Battery R.F.A.
8 Captain Lloyd had been sent on by Colonel Benson earlier in the day to lay out the camp, but
when he heard of the severe fighting and of the column commander being wounded, he felt his place
was by Colonel Benson's side, and he accordingly galloped back to the ridge. — [ED.]
3 This must have been in order to hide a wound in the right wrist which he had received a few
minutes before. — [ED.]
4 Captain Lloyd was mortally wounded a few minutes later, while being attended by Lieutenant
J. M. Sloan, R.A.M.C. (attached Scottish Horse), and died next morning. — [ED.]
The Scottish Horse at Bakenlaagte 45
Of Captain Lloyd the above-mentioned N.C.O. said, "He was the bravest
young officer I ever saw."
Following up their attack on the ridge, the Boers had opened a heavy fire
on the camp and had by now almost surrounded it.1 The survivors of the gun-
escort could therefore look for no help from this quarter,2 and the two companies
of infantry, after making ineffectual attempts to reach the rise, were about this
time withdrawn for the protection of the camp.
But there was no dribbling back of stragglers from the ridge ; where the
Scottish Horse and Yorkshire Light Infantry had dismounted they had lain
down. Murray's voice was now silent for ever, but his appeal was still in their
ears, and where they lay they died.
Close behind the rise, upon the side nearer camp and among the led horses,
stood two ammunition carts. Squadron-Quartermaster-Sergeant Warnock's 3
proper place was in camp with the waggons, but he had seen that his comrades
were in a desperate plight and had put himself in charge of these ammunition
carts. This man and Trooper A. Cunningham (Scottish Horse) now crawled up
to within some twenty yards of the firing line, dragging a box of ammunition.
Cunningham was immediately shot dead through the heart. Warnock lay down
for a moment, and then undaunted crawled forward again alone, foot by foot,
until he came into the firing line. The man nearest to him happened to be
Sergeant W. Johnstone (Scottish Horse), who had been severely wounded in three
places and was lying disabled. Warnock threw his ammunition right and left
to those whom it could reach, and then seizing Johnstone's rifle, knelt and fired
again and again right in the open and in full view of the Boers. To the others
near by it seemed certain death under the terrific volume of fire from such close
quarters, yet for some minutes Warnock bore a charmed life, and went crawling
from ant-heap to ant-heap, plying his rifle undismayed, until he emerged right
beyond the firing line and was all but in among the Boers, when he was badly
wounded in three places. An audacity like this, displayed at such a moment,
when three-fourths of the gun-escort had been killed or wounded and resistance
was flickering out, will live for ever in the minds of all who saw it.4 Close behind
Warnock came Corporal J. J. M'Carthy 5 (Scottish Horse), and another man, with
a second box of ammunition. They top contrived to crawl into the firing line,
1 A hill commanding the camp was held from noon onwards by three sections of the 25th Mounted
Infantry under Captain F. M. Crum, in face of a heavy and continuous fire which caused many
casualties. At dark this party fell back on the camp, and the Boers immediately seized the hill. — [En.]

within a hundred yards of the guns. — [Eo.]

his watch. He said to the first of them, "You don't want to take a poor old soldier's watch, do
you?" and they, in admiration of his gallantry and respect for his age, abstained.

and Corporal M'Carthy, though three times wounded, threw his ammunition to the
men on either side of him.
Meanwhile the Boers were wriggling up closer to the guns, yard by yard.
Once they stood up as if to charge, but there still were some five-and-twenty
unwounded men upon the ridge ; a straggling volley was fired, the Boer line sank
to earth again, and for another fifteen minutes they kept up their fire without
advancing.
Then a man leading a grey pony with his rifle in his left hand stood up from
among them, and some half-dozen others rose with him. They seemed to
think the fight was over, and came walking towards the guns as if they could
now take possession of them. At this moment there were merely six or seven
rifles available in the gun-escort, but these poured what fire they could into the
group of Boers. The man with the grey horse span round and fell, and the
others behind him sank to the ground.
It was perhaps three or four minutes after this that the whole Boer line four
or five deep stood upright as one man. The nearest of them were then about
twelve yards from the guns, and they all seemed to be dressed in British soldiers'
cloaks. One and all were firing furiously so as to stamp out the last embers
of resistance from the survivors of the gun-escort.
They were cheering wildly — not as Northern people cheer, but as Kaffirs
scream when exultant. Their scream was caught up all along their line, which
now closed up and advanced right into the guns, shooting indiscriminately at
everything that moved.
It was about this moment that Colonel Benson called out for a volunteer
to go back to camp. Trooper N. H. Grierson 1 of the Scottish Horse shouted
from behind his ant-heap that he would go, and a message was given to him
to the effect that the ambulances were not to be sent out for the wounded,
because, as the ridge was now virtually captured, the Boers would use the
ambulance mules to drag the guns away. As Grierson rose and stood in front
of Colonel Benson to take the message he was hit in the foot, and the self-same
bullet glancing on its way pierced Colonel Benson above the left hip, passing
right through his body.
The line of Boers surged slowly up and the guns were now lost.
All the officers and all but seven of the men of the Scottish Horse lay dead
or wounded ; all four officers of the Yorkshire Light Infantry had been laid
low, and seventeen out of twenty Riflemen, while the gun section had lost
twenty-nine men out of thirty-two engaged, both its officers being killed.
Lance-Corporal J. Bell 2 (Scottish Horse) was the only unwounded^man by the
guns as the Boer line advanced. Three men came up to him and called " hands
up." He refused, shot one of them, and was immediately killed by the
other two.
As the Boers were stripping the dead and wounded Colonel Benson con-
1 Now 2nd lieutenant, West India Regiment. — [Eo.]
2 Son of Sir James Bell, ex-Lord Provost of Glasgow. — [El).]
The Scottish Horse at Bakenlaagte 47
trived to send off one of his men into camp with an order to Colonel Wools
Sampson to open fire at once on the ridge and clear it, in order to prevent the Boers
from taking away the guns. Colonel Benson himself was lying grievously wounded
by the guns and could not move, and fire from camp would be more likely to
wound him again than to hurt any Boer. This order truly displayed a self-
sacrificing devotion.
His messenger arrived in camp about half-an-hour later, in his shirt, without
coat or boots, and fire was opened on the ridge.
Just at this moment Corporal J. L. Meates1 (Scottish Horse) rode up to
the rise on which the guns stood, with a message for Colonel Benson. The Boers
were now among the guns, firing heavily into the mob of led horses, which
stood for a moment below the rise and then with one accord stampeded. All
the horse-holders of the Scottish Horse were hit, except Corporal H. Haxton.2
Trooper B. Campbell (Scottish Horse) was badly wounded by this fire and fell
off his horse close to Meates. The latter dragged him behind an ant-heap
and there they lay together.
All the time the long line of Boers surged slowly over the rise step by step,
shooting at dead and dying. And — as if this inferno were not enough — the
guns and pom-poms now opened fire upon the ridge from camp, and the few
unfortunate survivors of the gun-escort found themselves with " death in front
and destruction in the rear " — in a tornado of rifle fire from the Boers — in a
storm of shrapnel from their own people.
The line of Boers still came over and down the rise. Meates was accosted
by a field cornet, who nodded kindly, saying, " Get behind us here," and the Boer
line passed over him and left him alive.
As the shell-fire from camp, however, now intensified, Meates was at a loss
where to seek shelter, and was standing up in despair, when a middle-aged
Boer touched him on the shoulder, and speaking perfect English said, " Lie down
here, my lad, and then you won't be hit," and led him to cover behind an ant-
heap.
As the shell-fire continued most of the Boers retired, leaving the guns, but
many remained, contemptuous of the fire, stripping dead and wounded men and
horses. After about half-an-hour most of these too retired, but several still
crawled about on their hands and knees — human jackals — rifling dead and
dying.
At 5.30 all the Boers had faUen back under the shell-fire, and Meates stood
up again and waved his arm to any who might be alive to see him. He was
joined by three other men of the Scottish Horse, and these survivors of Baken-
laagte walked into camp, leaving seventy-three dead and wounded of their regi-
ment on the ground.
Soon after this the ambulance waggons started out to bring in the wounded,
and fire from camp ceased.
1 Subsequently promoted lieutenant. — [Eo.]
2 Afterwards promoted sergeant. — [ED.]
48 A Military History of Perthshire
Under the cover of the ambulances the Boers took the guns away with oxen.
The dead were left where they lay.
The night came very dark, but there was no alarm, and as morning dawned
men learnt the truth of the Biblical metaphor " as snow on Salmon," for the
rise on which the guns had stood was white with the naked bodies of our dead.
At about 6 A.M. on October the 3ist Colonel Benson died, after giving direc-
tions for the defence of the camp, and was buried at 12.30 P.M.
On the ist of November a burial party went out to the rise on which the
guns had stood. Of all the dead, only Lieutenant Kelly, Scottish Horse, had
not been stripped. His coat — riddled by over thirty bullets — was torn to shreds
and not worth the taking.
But this paper ends with the close of a fight, which, for the percentage of
wounds and death endured by the defenders of the guns, stands unsurpassed in
civilised war, and which for the devotion displayed by them should find a per-
petual place in the history of British arms.
For the officers and men who suffered at Bakenlaagte unconsciously be-
queathed to those who should live after them the priceless legacy of a glorious
example.

THE WAR IN THE WEST
"Nemo me impune lacessit"
MOEDWIL (September 30^, 1901)
THE war in the west was well waged by the two rival commanders, Kekewich
and Delarey. Both Boer and British generals were born leaders. Both
tempered daring with caution, both knew when to risk much and when to risk
nothing. Colonel Kekewich commanded the unshaken confidence, the respectful
affection, and the loyal devotion of all ranks of his force, not only because they
saw him for what he was — the best type of English gentleman — but because
they well knew that the greater the emergency, the greater would prove the
resources of their leader's generalship. Delarey was an enemy worthy of
Kekewich : the Stonewall Jackson of the Boers — Puritan — born strategist — a
chivalrous but uncompromising enemy — he inspired the respect of the British
almost as much as the enthusiasm of the Dutch, and emerged from two and a
half years of incessant warfare with the finest reputation of any of his
countrymen.
The column commanded by Colonel R. G. Kekewich, composed of five com-
panies of the Derbyshire Regiment under Lieutenant -Colonel Wylly (approxi-
mately 400 men), three guns of the 28th Battery Royal Artillery, one pom-pom
of " G2," and eight squadrons of mounted men (about 560 in all), had been
operating in the Magaliesberg district throughout the month of September 1901. *
The mounted troops were composed of six squadrons of the ist Scottish Horse
under Major Duff (8th Hussars), and two squadrons of the yth Imperial Yeomanry.
Major Blair (King's Own Scottish Borderers) was second-in-command of the
ist Scottish Horse, and the squadrons of that regiment were commanded as
follows : —
A Squadron, Captain H. G. Field.
B Squadron, Captain J. P. Lambert.
C Squadron, Captain R. H. Dick-Cunyngham (2ist Lancers).
D Squadron, Captain P. M. Rattray.
J Squadron, Captain P. N. Field.
K Squadron. Captain I. R. Mackenzie.
1 There had also been some 400 men of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, but these left the
column on the 22nd of September.
II. D
50 A Military History of Perthshire
Of these six Scottish Horse Squadrons, two (C and D, under Dick-Cunyngham
and Rattray respectively), although they had landed at Durban in July, had
practically never yet been under fire, inasmuch as throughout September Keke-
wich's column had taken part in those " combined operations " and " closing-
in movements " which for the most part characterised the 1901 period of the
war. Stragglers from various commandos had been captured, but the column
had for several weeks continuously trekked through the Magaliesberg country
without any serious engagement.
On the 28th of September Kekewich was at Waterval, but left that spot
at 5 A.M. on the 29th, arriving at noon on that day at the point where the road
from Rustenberg to Zeerust crosses the drifts over the Selons River and joins
the road from Waterval. The veld at this place is marked on the maps
" Moedwil (639)," and the camp was pitched at mid-day at a point some 400
yards to the east of the drift over the river, and on slightly rising ground. The
camp at Moedwil was set in an open space, roughly speaking, about 1400 or
1500 yards square, completely surrounded by bush of varying degrees of thick-
ness, and beyond the bush bounded on north and west by the Selons River,
which had here cut itself deep into the soft soil (see sketch). The camp faced
west and its left rested on the Rustenburg-Zeerust main road. The mounted
troops were on the right (the Yeomanry being on the extreme right), the guns
were in the centre, and the Derbys on the left. Of the outposts the Derbys
were responsible for the south-western, southern, and south-eastern aspects,
while the mounted men took up a semicircular line covering western, north, and
north-eastern sides, and joined hands with the infantry both at the drift over the
river and on the road to Magato's Pass. The posts held by the mounted men
were formed by one squadron of Yeomanry and C Squadron Scottish Horse,
the latter being thrown out about six hundred yards to the right rear of the
camp as a detached post (see map).
The ground behind the camp was fairly level, but it fell gently away in front
towards the Selons River, rising again beyond it, and the alternative of placing
his outposts on the near or far side of the river-bed offered itself to the com-
mander. Outposts placed beyond it would see more, but would have to be pushed
far out, and would thus be much more exposed than if posted on the camp side ;
and again outposts on the right bank of the river would in places be somewhat
too near the main body to give timely warning of attack. The latter alter-
native was the one chosen by Colonel Kekewich, but he gave orders that each
picquet was to send out a patrol an hour before daylight, and that two special
patrols, each a troop strong, were to move out in north-westerly and south-
westerly directions respectively, at 4 A.M. One Derby picquet was to hold the
main drift over the Selons River, and another was posted on the further bank.

52 A Military History of Perthshire
squadron of Yeomanry left the column for Naaupoort to " fill up," and the
force in camp that evening resolved itself into four companies of the Derbys
and one maxim, six and a half squadrons of mounted men, three guns of the
28th Battery and one pom-pom ; in all, about 900 men and 800 rifles.
The night passed quietly, and at 4.15 A.M., while still quite dark, a patrol
moved out from the Devon Yeomanry picquet, on the extreme left of the line
held by the mounted troops. Suddenly at about 4.30 some rifle shots were
heard coming from the north-west ; the patrol had sighted Boers in the river-bed,
had immediately opened fire in order to arouse the camp, and had then retired
on the picquet, one man being taken prisoner. The first shots were followed
by a loud outburst of fire from the same direction, a general alarm was given,
and Colonel Kekewich turned out immediately. His orders were immediate
and simple, and from first to last, according to the testimony of many who saw
him, he was blessed with a complete coolness and decision which were in them-
selves the ingredients of victory. The situation which he now had to face was
actually as follows : —
Delarey, foremost and astutest of the leaders of the Dutch, had effected a
sudden concentration of the western commandos, amounting to about noo
men. A force under Kemp and Van Heerden, working south, was to occupy
higher ground some 5000 yards to the east of the camp, and there to join hands
with Steinkamp and Osthuisen pushing round by the north, while the main
body under Delarey himself, with Fourie, Coetze, Van Tender, Plessis, and
Boshoff, was to drive home an attack through the river-bed on to the front of
the camp, and force the British to retire into the arms of Kemp. Delarey pur-
posed to repeat the tactics of Kornspruit, and the deep scrubby valley which
like a python enveloped two sides of the slope on which Kekewich's camp stood,
lent itself to his plan. Collecting some 900 men in the river-bed, he pushed
them up into the scrub which everywhere fringed the right bank, and only
waited for daylight to come to open a murderous fire.
The first brunt of the attack now fell on the unfortunate picquets, and espe-
cially on those of the mounted men who were responsible for the north-western
and western sides of the camp ; these men at once found themselves enfiladed
and all but engulfed in the firing line of the Boers. Point-blank fire was brought
to bear on them from both flanks, and two of the Yeomanry picquets were in
a few minutes all but annihilated. The enemy also pushed up the river and
overwhelmed the Derby picquet at the main drift — every man but one being
either killed or wounded.
The alarm having been given, the officers hastily collected their men and
led them forward to the nearest spot, clear of the horse lines and tents, from which
a field of fire could be obtained. By 4.45 A.M., and before darkness had fully
given place to twilight, every unit had turned out of camp, with the exception
of a small party of the Derbys, left behind to guard the ammunition.
The camp, however, which stood on the skyline of the rising ground, came
The Scottish Horse at Moedwil 53
under a heavy fire from west and north-west as the light increased, and many
horses and men were hit. The fire was so hot that in a few minutes one of the
field-guns was out of action — the detachment being all shot down — and the
pom-pom is said to have jammed. Colonel Kekewich gave an order for some
of the horses to be saddled up in order to be able to pursue the enemy later,
but, to quote the words of one who took part in this attempt — " It was almost
hopeless. All the men who were worth their salt were already in the firing line ;
moreover the horses were dropping like shelled peas. ... In one troop-line
there stood thirteen horses " (of the Scottish Horse). " Of these, twelve were hit
(eight, if I remember right, being killed), and the thirteenth was so panic-stricken
that it was found impossible, even after the fight, to saddle him." It was in
several fruitless attempts to carry out this order that most of the casualties
occurred among the officers and men of the Scottish Horse. Colonel Kekewich
himself was hit twice (in the right shoulder and left side) but never discontinued
directing operations.
The volume of fire directed on the tents and horses at this period of the fight
far exceeded that which was turned upon the men in the firing line, for these
were now lying down on the slope and were hardly visible ; hence for the most
part the Boer fire passed over their heads until broad daylight came, when the
attacking force could better see where the defenders of the camp lay. On the
other hand, when the full light of day came, our men could get a better view
of the enemy, and so did more execution.
At about 5.15 a report was sent in to Colonel Kekewich to the effect that a
large body of the enemy was working round from the north to the east or rear of
the camp, and a strong body of the Derbyshire Regiment under Major C. N. Watts
moved out eastwards to be ready for eventualities. Major Watts, however,
found that this report was incorrect— the Boers apparently not being able to
carry out this part of their original plan — and being joined by Captain Mackenzie
with a few of the Scottish Horse, and by Major R. A. Browne of the Border Regi-
ment (who with much foresight had coUected all the servants, cooks, and orderlies
in the camp), Major Watts followed the unbreakable rule of every successful
soldier and " marched to the sound of the firing." Although he did not then
recognise the fact, he thus eventually decided the day. Swinging his men
round towards the north, he advanced with fixed bayonets against the enemy's
left, through the ground held by C Squadron, Scottish Horse. This squadron
had repulsed two determined attacks of the enemy, but had not been strong
enough to drive him back unaided ; now, reinforced in this manner, it joined
in an advance which was taken up all along the British line to north and north-
west, and which at once became a most effective turning movement,
enemy's left, thus threatened, gave way, and this was the beginning of the end,
for at 6 A.M. a general retirement of the Boers from the river-bed began,
up their horses, they galloped away towards the north and north-west, and only
for a short distance did they come under the fire of our guns.
54 A Military History of Perthshire
The last shot was fired at 6.15. The fight had been a costly one, some
25 per cent, of Kekewich's column being killed or wounded — a fact which proves
the intensity of the Boer rifle fire and the determination of the attack.
It is evident, however, that the patrols sent out before daylight precipitated
matters and upset Delarey's plan. He had intended to delay his attack until
Kemp and Steinkamp had worked round to the rear of the camp, and until day
should be dawning, when — the camp being on the top of a slope against the
skyline — few officers or men would ever have got out of it unhit. As it was,
the attack took place before the Boer flanking parties had reached their destina-
tion ; most of the British troops were in the firing line before dawn ; and
though, as has been seen, the casualties in camp became very heavy as the light
increased, they were far less than would have been the case had the attack been
launched twenty minutes later.
It is said that the quality most requisite to successful generalship consists
in the faculty of acting normally in abnormal times of emergency. A quick
decision and a prompt execution of the only possible course achieved at Moedwil
an unqualified success for the defence, when the least vacillation or want of control
would have caused an unmitigated disaster.
All the Scottish Horse did well that day, but a brief mention should be made
of three Perthshire men who rendered especially good service : — Major Duff,
who by his able dispositions materially contributed to the victory ; Captain
" Pete " Rattray, who gallantly led out his untried squadron to where the fire
was hottest ; and Surgeon-Captain Kidd, who, though severely wounded early
in the day, continued to attend to the wounded until 10 A.M., when he was
obliged to give in through loss of blood. Two others should also be noted : —
Lieutenant W. Jardine, who, in spite of having received two wounds, remained
in command of his men, and Farrier-Sergeant Kirkpatrick, who pursued and
killed Boshoff , the leader of the Boer scouts, who had got right into camp. Among
those killed was an excellent non-commissioned officer, Scout-Sergeant William
McGregor, from Weem.
The following tables show as nearly as can be ascertained the total casualties
of the column, and the losses of the Scottish Horse in particular. It may also
be mentioned that 327 horses and 185 mules were killed, and that 117 rounds
of shrapnel, 800 rounds of maxim, and about 67,000 rounds of small-arm
ammunition were expended.

ROOIWAL (April nth, 1902)
ON the night of the loth of April, in accordance with instructions from General
Ian Hamilton (who was in supreme command of all the columns operating in
the Western Transvaal), Colonel Kekewich's force, composed of Lieutenant-
Colonel GrenfelTs and Lieutenant-Colonel Von Donop's columns, which for some
months past had been operating in the Klerksdorp district, occupied a line
running west and east along the valley of the Brakspruit and facing south.
Kekewich's force covered ground from near the farms called Rooiwal and Doorn-
bult to Oshoek (some three miles away to the east), where it joined hands with
the Imperial Light Horse, who were on the right of Sir Henry Rawlinson's force.
The only information available indicated generally that the majority of the
enemy were some distance to the south. General Hamilton's orders to Kekewich
for the nth of April were to move at an early hour to the junction of the Harts
River and the Brakspruit, and thence to make a reconnaissance in a west-north-
west direction, while Rawlinson's and Walter Kitchener's forces reconnoitred
towards the south-west.
The " general idea " on which these dispositions were conceived was that
of feeling for the enemy while maintaining close touch between the three forces,
so that the cordon should be preserved and the enemy enclosed in the area
between the columns and the block-houses.
Some few days prior to this date. General Delarey had passed through
Colonel Kekewich's lines en his way to discuss terms of peace with Lord
Kitchener at Klerksdorp, but there was no amnesty between the two armies.
Kemp appears to have been in command of all the western commandos during
56 A Military History of Perthshire
Delarey's absence, and to have caused a large concentration of his men in
the neighbourhood of Wolmaranstad on the loth of April. He had under him
some 2000 of various commandos, the toughest veterans of the Boer forces —
men who had been continuously in the field since October 1899, and whose
pugnacious spirit had been fortified by an intimate experience of British tactics,
by their own protracted resistance, and, in an especial sense, by their recent
striking victories. Kemp's purpose on the loth of April was to concentrate
every available man in close proximity to Kekewich, and then in repetition of
the tactics which had recently been so successful, to envelop the British force
and rush into close quarters.
Entirely unaware of any impending conflict, at 6 A.M. on the nth of April
GrenfelTs and Von Donop's columns closed on their right and moved west —
Von Donop's column leading — towards the junction of the Harts River and
the Brakspruit. The country through which the column marched was not
only stamped with a natural desolation, but scarred and disfigured with the
debris, the putrefying bones and offal, of the recent wayfaring and fighting. At
Doornbult l lay hundreds of animals ten days dead, and on almost every hillock
and hollow were tokens of warfare, bodies and bones of animals, broken boxes,
newly-covered graves — back-wash left by the storm. Only the white farmhouse
of Rooiwal with its smoking chimney (comfortably nestling by some water in
a sheltered hollow, between an orchard and an orange grove) at once struck
the traveller's eye as the sole kindly and human feature in a fierce and inhospitable
landscape.
At 7.30 A.M. the two columns had almost closed up, the head of Von Donop's
column having reached the farm of Rooiwal, and his scouts being about a mile
and a half ahead. It is said that a short time before this a little girl of about
fourteen years of age had run out from the farmhouse up the hillside to the
south and had waved her apron high above her head. It was afterwards con-
jectured that this had been a signal to call her countrymen to battle, for before
the column reached Rooiwal the officer commanding the advanced-guard re-
ported that a large force was approaching from the left and asked if it was
Rawlinson. Colonel Von Donop thereupon rode forward to reconnoitre.
At this moment the Scottish Horse,2 under Lieutenant-Colonel Leader
(6th Dragoon Guards), were marching at the head of Grenfell's column and had
reached a point about a mile east of Rooiwal farm. They were passing through
the low ground along the river-bed, which is here flanked by a large bushy hill
on its northern and by a smaller eminence on its southern side — forming a defile
from which the view to the front is uninterrupted, but to either flank is limited
by the kopjes. I continue the story from the point of view of those who were
with the leading files of the Scottish Horse.
As Von Donop's column reached Rooiwal a few irregular shots were heard
from the left front, followed immediately by three or four loud regular volleys,
1 Doornbult was the scene of Colonel Cookson's fight, which had taken place a few days before.
2 i.e. 1st Scottish Horse and Right Wing, 2nd Scottish Horse.
The Scottish Horse at Rooiwal 57
and almost simultaneously it was noticed that the fan-shaped regularity of the
screen was broken and that there was some unaccountable galloping in front.
A general tendency of this galloping in the direction of the north (that is to say,
from the left front away towards the right), was also clearly perceived.
A few moments later — out of the distant uproar and across the bare stretch
of plain and the deserted left front — galloped venire a terre a hatless horse-
man straight for Colonel Grenfell. The Scottish Horse watched him growing
clearer and wondered who he was. A few seconds later and he was hailed by
Colonel Grenfell, and recognised as Percival of the 5th Fusiliers, Colonel Von
Donop's aide-de-camp. " Those men in front are all Boers," he calmly but
emphatically shouted, " Boers — nothing but Boers. I have galloped right
through them myself."
Grenfell looked in the direction indicated and saw against the sky to his
left front a thick black line, perhaps a mile away. It might have been anything
— cattle or sheep or men — all one could say was that a black line a mile or more
in length stretched thick and unbroken all along the skyline, across the front,
left front, and left flank. Grenfell threw a glance at the screen — saw that it
was not — and realised in a second that he must achieve his own salvation. A
second glance at the long black line showed it blacker and longer, and dissipated
doubts ; it was men — it was Boers — they were many — and Percival's informa-
tion (at first so surprising as almost to be incredible), was swallowed and
digested. Grenfell had some noo rifles, with two guns and a pom-pom, and acting
under instructions from Colonel Kekewich, he now gave the following orders : —
the guns and pom-pom immediately to come into action facing west ; the ist and
2nd Scottish Horse (460 rifles) to wheel to their left, dismount and advance
towards the Boers, seizing some mealie-covered ground which rose slightly
towards the enemy — thus covering the south-west ; the South African Con-
stabulary (290 rifles) to protect the guns ; and the Yeomanry (420 rifles) to
come up on the left of the Scottish Horse and face south. Otherwise expressed,
Colonel Grenfell's intention was to dispose his column in a crescent-shaped
line of dismounted men facing west, south-west, and south, on the best ground
available in the few seconds which could be spared. The guns at once began
firing at about noo yards range, and the Scottish Horse under Leader, being
at the head of the column, were the first to get dismounted under a very heavy
but inaccurate fire, under which horses were freely hit and some stampeded.
Leader and the first troops climbed the slightly rising ground and took up the
best position they could find, some fifty yards away from the horses, facing
west and south-west. The men then extended and opened fire at about 600
yards, and the rest of the Scottish Horse formed up to right and left of these
troops, extending the firing line until something very like what Grenfell pur-
posed was realised.
Just as the remaining troops of the Scottish Horse followed Colonel Leader
and the first troops into the firing line, so the other units formed on the Scottish
Horse ; and eventually Von Donop's column rallied and formed on Grenfell.
58 A Military History of Perthshire
Thus it is literally true that Colonel Leader with the first few troops of the
Scottish Horse formed the nucleus of the entire resistance, and in a sense the
fortunes of the whole force depended on Leader at once getting every available
rifle into occupation of the right ground ; for had the Boers galloped into Grenfell
before he had had time to possess himself of the higher ground on his left, they
would have been in occupation of a position from which the entire valley would
have been at their mercy.
The Boers had advanced slowly so as to give their wings time to swing up
and envelop the British force, and this cost them the day. For now the crisis
was passed ; the Scottish Horse were lying along the higher ground with a good
field of fire before them, and stolid north- countrymen are not easily dismayed
by the moral effect of an advancing enemy.
The range rapidly diminished to five, four, and three hundred yards, but
still the Boer line in close order, knee to knee, and two and more deep, moved
slowly onward at the " trippling " pace of African ponies.
Seldom in the history of small-bore warfare have riflemen or gunners had
a surer target than that thick crowded line of horsemen. There was no chance
of a man mistaking his range ; each fired point blank as fast as he could fill
his magazine, and the guns were using " case." Still, through this terrific fire-
zone, on horses, on mules, on foot — the horsemen firing as they rode — the foot-
men stopping anon to fire out of the " mealies " — the Boer line surged forward
to the charge.
Those who had been at Omdurman had seen a similar imposing spectacle ;
none of the rest of a veteran column had ever beheld so Homeric a sight as the
confident onslaught of 2000 mounted men, knee to knee, two, three, and
four deep.
Some of the leading Boers came to within 100 yards of the Scottish Horse
and even closer to the Constabulary, and then the tornado of lead in which they
found themselves was too much even for their determination, and they broke
and galloped away, the last shot being fired at about 8.10 A.M.
Men now had leisure in which to realise that the day was won. Away on
the right a few parties of the enemy were still trying to get round that flank
through the scrub jungle on the hillside. To the left and to the front, near and
far, were galloping horsemen and clouds of dust, while immediately before the
recumbent British line were over 100 dead and wounded Dutchmen. Close
to the Scottish Horse Maxim (which had done excellent service) lay Commandant
Potgieter, a big man in a blue suit and jack boots ; and near by a lad of fourteen,
himself badly wounded, was holding a blanket over a dying old man to shield
him from the sun.
At about 9 o'clock, when the horses had been collected, a movement towards
the south in echelon of columns to the right rear began. An unbroken line of
scouts stretched from the valley of the river for six miles in a southerly direction,
and for some three hours a ceaseless cantering pursuit was maintained through
mealie fields and over the endless veld. " Only over the next rise " — but beyond
The Scottish Horse at Rooiwal 59
that was another and again another, and beyond again the dust clouds of the
fugitives, which never seemed the nearer.
Here and there among the mealies lay wounded Boers ; here and there
limped a wounded horse with sweat marks on his back, dripping blood, into
the corn cobs. One might swear the rider was not far to seek ; but the pursuit
of the dust clouds did not admit of drawing rein. At last in a hollow the
Scottish Horse came upon their prize — two beat teams of mules harnessed to
the last of the lost field-guns,1 one pom-pom, a small band of prisoners who held
up their hands, and beyond, some waggons. Beyond again, four or five miles
to the west, the broken commandos trailed up the hill track for Schweizer Reneke ;
but the horses were now so exhausted that further pursuit was impossible. The
men gave their animals a drink of liquid mud, burnt the waggons (expressing
a courteous if not quite sincere regret to the female occupants), and turned their
heads towards camp at Rooiwal.
A red-letter day — a day of a thousand days — was done, and a real success,
pregnant with results as yet but dimly guessed by those who had achieved it,
had been most cheaply won in a country of disasters.
The actual result of the fight, some say, was the end of the war in the west.
Be this as it may, Kekewich's column had been privileged to witness a wondrous
change in the character of their enemy ; — the changing of the leopard's spots —
the transmigration of the soul of the Dervish into the heart of the Dutchman.
And the Scottish Horse had seen an even greater thing than that, for they
had furnished in themselves an undeniable demonstration of the rule of war
that stolid riflemen well led need fear no charge of horsemen, even though the
latter be fortified by the prestige of former success.

1 This list does not include the numerous promotions made for merit. As the Scottish
Horse had only a temporary existence, and as its numbers and personnel were continually
fluctuating, very few promotions were made by seniority.
2 In the case of officers and men attached from the Regular Army, the words " South
African," " Canadian," and so on, refer, so far is as known, to the countries to which such
officers and men respectively belonged. In other cases they indicate the countries in which
officers and men were respectively domiciled at the commencement of the war.
3 This officer served as quartermaster and honorary lieutenant throughout the period
of his service with the Scottish Horse, but at the conclusion of the war was required to revert
to his former rank in the i8th Hussars — a strange reward for his services in South Africa.

ROLL OF PERTHSHIRE OFFICERS OF THE
PRESENT DAY WHO HAVE SEEN ACTIVE
SERVICE UNDER THE BRITISH FLAG
ii.
NOTE
THE connection of each officer with Perthshire is stated in his record, but it may be
mentioned that Part I. includes men who own property in the county, and their
sons ; some grandsons, great-grandsons, and great-great-grandsons (on the paternal
side), of landed proprietors of recognised Perthshire families ; sons and grandsons of
men who, though not owners of property, are or were long resident in Perthshire,
and came of families established in the county ; and men who were born and
brought up in Perthshire.
In all cases of ownership of property in Perthshire the preposition "of" is used ;
in cases of tenantry only, this preposition is omitted.
A reference at the end of a record denotes the page on which the officer's photo
will be found.
This Roll includes officers living in 1903, and of such as were not living in that
year, those who had seen active service during the previous ten years. The infor-
mation in the records is not carried beyond December the 31st, 1903.

DAVID WILLIAM STANLEY OGILVY, EIGHTH
EARL OF AIRLIE
1856-1900
BY A. FRANCIS STEUART
ONE of the most notable figures in the South African War was David, Earl of
Airlie, whose devotion to his military career was akin to that of a knight in the
Crusades. He came of a family long noted for its Cavalier and Jacobite loyalty,
and which had suffered severely for its attachment to the Stuart cause. Destined
for a civil life, his passion for soldiering proved too strong, and passing through
Sandhurst he entered the Scots Fusilier Guards in 1875 and exchanged a year
later into the loth Hussars.
With this regiment he went to India, where he became an expert horseman
and a keen polo player. During 1878-1879 he took part in the Afghan Campaign,
and in 1884, after returning home, rejoined his regiment, then on active service
at Souakim. Though too late for the battle of El Teb he was present at Tamai,
and served until the end of the campaign. He became brigade-major to Sir
Herbert Stewart in the Nile Expedition, and was wounded by an Arab spear
at Abu Klea in 1885.
In 1886 he married Lady Mabel Gore, daughter of the fifth Earl of Arran,
but this did not hinder his active work. In 1889 he was adjutant of the Hamp-
shire Yeomanry, but in 1892 returned to his regiment, then in Ireland, and was
keenly interested in the welfare of his men. In December 1896 he became
second-in-command of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, and in 1897 commanding
officer of the I2th Lancers.
In 1899 orders came for South Africa, and Lord Airlie sailed on October the
23rd. His letters from the seat of war are full of life, and a few extracts show
best his real nature. " It all," he wrote, " reminds me of '85 most vividly,
which taught me to live and love." He was a disciplinarian, zealous in every
work, and took little rest. " I sleep pretty well when there is time and not
too many loose horses." At Magersfontein he was described as " over there
in the hottest of the fire with seven wounded men round him, as happy as a
king," and he himself wrote — " I like the Boers and am very proud to be fighting
against them ... I am very happy " ; and what he hoped for was " a merciful
and stable peace." On February the I7th, 1900, he wrote after a hard day's
march, " All dead tired — hardly any food — little water for many from 2 A.M.
till 9 P.M." ; and later from the bivouac, " God grant us victory ; I think the
II. 97 G
9 8 A Military History of Perthshire
cavalry has done very well and quite carried out the cavalry role." On April
the i3th he says, " I want to go on to the end ' a fin ' (his family motto) and
fight to the end for the dear homeland," and the end was not far off. He fell
ill in March at Cape Town, but even before he recovered full strength returned
to the front. At Isabellafontein on May the 4th he was wounded in the right
arm and was again invalided, but eager for the field he returned to his regiment
soon. At Diamond Hill, near Pretoria, on the nth of June 1900 the end came.
After a splendid charge in which he saved the guns, he gave his last command,
" Files about — gallop," and fell to the ground with a bullet in his heart. He
lies buried there as he desired, his last wish on leaving England being expressed
in the words, " Remember if I am killed in action, whatever memorial you put
up for me, that you say on it, I had died as I wished."
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL THE HON. ANDREW
DAVID MURRAY
1863-1901
BY LIEUTENANT-COLONEL LORD LOVAT, C.B., C.V.O.. D.S.O.
BREVET-LIEUTENANT-COLONEL the Hon. Andrew David Murray was born in
1863, was educated at Wellington, and joined The Queen's Own Cameron High-
landers as a lieutenant in 1884.
He served in the Nile Expedition of 1885, an(i m 1885-1886 throughout the
operations of the Soudan Frontier Field Force : he took part in the defence of
Kosheh and the engagement at Giniss. In the 1898 campaign he was present
with his regiment at the battles of the Atbara and Omdurman, and was on both
occasions mentioned in despatches. During the Fashoda operations he was
in command of the white troops, was again mentioned in despatches, and re-
ceived a brevet of major.
In December 1899, shortly after the battle of Magersfontein, Major Murray
was asked by Lord Lovat to take command of a body of Scouts which was being
raised in the Highlands for service in South Africa ; his experience, his popu-
larity, and the reputation he had already gained on active service pointed him
out as one eminently fitted for the post, and one whose appointment would
ensure success to the new corps.
In February 1900 Major Murray was duly gazetted commandant of Lovat's
Scouts, and at once took up his duties with that quickness for objective and
grasp of detail which always characterised him. In March 1900, despite official
delays and unforeseen difficulties, he got his command out to South Africa, and
in May, by sheer dogged determination, forced his way up to the front and joined
the main advance at Kroonstad.
Major Murray was present at the actions near Johannesburg, Pretoria, and
Diamond Hill. He then marched with General Hunter to the Wittebergen and
was given command of the mounted forces of the Highland Brigade. After
Prinsloo's surrender in July 1900 he took part in the fighting round Heilbron
and Philipolis, and in some of the pursuits of De Wet.
In November 1900 Major Murray was given a brevet and — what he appreciated
much more — a column of his own in Cape Colony. This column consisted of
two guns, Lovat's Scouts, District Mounted Troops, Imperial Yeomanry, mounted
infantry and Police details. Many weary months of hard trekking and occa-
sional fighting ensued.
ioo A Military History of Perthshire
In September 1901 the larger portion of Lieutenant-Colonel Murray's column
was detached to relieve the town of Ladygrey in Cape Colony, and with ioo
mounted men and one gun he himself was sent to watch a country known to
be the base of supplies to some 400 Boers. The mission was a dangerous one
and the end was not long in coming. On the second night, on the Witberg,
while the remainder of his column was approaching and was almost within reach,
some 250 Boers under Kritzinger, one hour after the moon had set, crawled
between his outposts and overwhelmed his little force.
All that mortal man could do Colonel Murray did that night. Taken wholly
by surprise, he broke through the Boer fire to get to his men : at once realising
the position, he got the Maxim to work, rallied the men who had escaped out
of the lines, and at the last — fell — facing his foes, a bullet through his heart,
and " no surrender " his last words.
No truer man ever died for his country, nor have many equalled his rugged
personality, his power of inspiring affection, or his military genius. As a soldier
Andrew Murray was quick, determined, and resourceful ; an absolute com-
petitor for the main object and without a trace of egotism for himself or his
command.
Brave as few men are brave, he was nevertheless the most careful of com-
manders for even the most insignificant unit of his force : he would court death
to make certain that a small flank party was secure, and whenever he detached
a small force on a more than usually perilous errand it cost him a great mental
struggle not to accompany the men to the post of danger. Those who fought
with him will always picture him to themselves, perched on the highest ant-
hill on the flank of the firing line with his telescope and map beside him ; a
willing target provided he could thereby draw the fire from his men.
Andrew Murray fell in his eighty-sixth engagement, and it may be safely
affirmed that, of all the men who have served under him, there is not one whose
thoughts do not go out to him in love and admiration.
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL WILLIAM HENRY
DICK-CUNYNGHAM, V.C.
1851-1900
BY THE HON. MRS. FORBES OF BRUX
THE youngest son of Sir William Dick-Cunyngham, eighth Baronet of Preston-
field and Lambrughton, and descended on his mother's side from the Stewarts
of Urrard, Harry, as he was best known to his many friends, was one of those
sunny, affectionate, manly dispositions who, incapable of mean actions them-
selves, never attribute one to another.
Addicted from boyhood to every kind of out-door life, he carried off trophies
in all athletic sports. At Sandhurst he hunted the beagles and was considered
one of the smartest cadets. Gifted with a fine voice, a singularly good sports-
man, and loving manly sports as much as he hated vulgar dissipation, his high
standard of conduct made his influence, which was great for so young a man,
always for good.
Obtaining a commission in the 92nd Gordon Highlanders, he served through-
out the Afghan War of 1878-1880 — first on transport duty in the advance to
Kandahar and Khelat-i-Ghilzai under Sir Donald Stewart ; next with the Thull
Chotiali Force under Major-General Biddulph ; and afterwards with his regiment,
under Sir Frederick (now Lord) Roberts, in the Kuram Valley Expedition,
including the engagement at Ali Khel and the operations round Kabul. For
his " conspicuous gallantry and coolness " in the attack on the Sherpur Pass
he was awarded the Victoria Cross. He acted as adjutant of a wing of the
Gordon Highlanders in the Maidan Expedition, including the engagement at
Charasia ; accompanied Sir Frederick Roberts in the march to Kandahar, and
was present at the subsequent battles. He was four times mentioned in
despatches, and in the Boer War of 1881 was adjutant of the Q2nd.
It was when seen in action that his true character as a born leader of men
appeared. Keen of eye, cool and confident in the midst of danger, he knew
how to grasp his opportunity — ever eager to show by personal example that his
watchword was " Come " not " Go — on."
In 1883 he married Miss Helen Wauchope, and for five years was adjutant
of the 4th (Donside) Volunteer Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders, after which
he returned to India with his regiment. Entering thoroughly into the serious
side of his profession, he read every available military treatise in order to be
eligible for staff appointments, and passed the highest standard in Eastern
IO2 A Military History of Perthshire
languages. He was appointed station staff officer at Delhi, and was after-
wards deputy-assistant-adjutant-general to Sir Robert Low at Lucknow. Pro-
moted major into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, he was recalled in
1897 to command his old battalion of the Gordons, and under him the regiment
more than maintained its high standard of efficiency.
Serving in the South African War as lieutenant-colonel commanding the
2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders 1899-1900, he was severely wounded at the
battle of Elandslaagte, but in spite of this preferred sharing the dangers and
privations of the siege of Ladysmith to seeking safety in the camp at Intombi.
When barely recovered he essayed to lead his regiment against the attack on
Caesar's Camp on January the 6th, 1900, but fell mortally wounded — to the over-
whelming sorrow of his men, whose universal expression was, " We shall never
have another Colonel like him." He was in deed the hero he looked.

ROLL OF PERTHSHIRE WARRANT OFFICERS,
NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, AND MEN
OF THE PRESENT DAY WHO HAVE SEEN
ACTIVE SERVICE UNDER THE BRITISH FLAG
ii.
N
NOTE
THE following Roll includes natives of Perthshire, residents of not less than five years' standing,
and one or two men who were neither born in the county nor reside in it, but who belong to
recognised Perthshire families. The records are grouped according to regiments and corps, the
records in each unit being arranged alphabetically. The units of the Regular Army are mentioned
in order of precedence, followed by the Departments of the Army, the Imperial Yeomanry, the
Indian and Colonial forces (the regiments of which are given in alphabetical order), and other
similar corps, arranged in like manner.
Except in the case of members of a separate Volunteer unit such as the Scottish Cycle Corps,
Militiamen and Volunteers who served in the South African War are shown under the Regular
regiments to which their respective corps are affiliated, or under the regiment with which they
last proceeded on active service. The records of the Scottish Cycle Corps immediately follow
those of the Infantry of the Line.
The record of every man who enlisted in a regiment the title of which has been changed since
his enlistment, will be found under the present name of the regiment, the former title being
mentioned in his record.
When a man has served in more than one corps his record is given with those of the unit with
which he last proceeded on active service.
The name of the place or parish in Perthshire with which each man is connected is given in
brackets at the beginning of his record. In cases in which a man is connected with more than
one part of the county, the place of birth, when known, has been preferred to the place of
residence. The Roll includes men who were born in those districts of Perthshire which were
transferred to other counties under the Boundary Commissioners' Order of 1891, or who resided
in those districts for not less than five years prior to that date.
The mention of a Volunteer battalion in a record refers, unless otherwise stated, to a Volunteer
battalion of the regiment under which the record in question is found.
As mentioned in the Preface, the information contained in the great majority of the records
has been verified at the various regimental depots, but when local sources failed to supply infor-
mation as to a man's regimental number, such verification became difficult, often impossible.
Again, in the case of Colonial regiments disbanded at the end of the South African War,
verification of the records was out of the question, and even when an authoritative statement had
been procured as to the clasps to which a man was entitled, I was not always definitely informed
as to the years in which he had been on active service. Dots . . . have therefore been used to
indicate the probability — in some cases, certainty — that certain records are not complete.
As in the case of the Roll of Officers, this Roll includes men living in 1903 ; while of those not
living in that year, only men who had been on active service during the previous ten years have
been included. The information contained in the records is not carried beyond December the
•31st, 1903.
A number in brackets at the end of a record refers to the man's portrait. Where no such
number appears, no portrait has been obtainable. The portraits will be found on pp. 239 to 267,
and an Index to the same on p. 271 et seq.
The Table of Contents shows the page on which the records of each unit commence, and each
individual record is referred to in the Index to Persons.
For abbreviations used see list on p. 64.
